Watch Match Point For Free

Very disappointing...

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Say what you want about Woody Allen, the guy makes some good films. He makes some bad films too. Heck, he's made a movie every year for the last four decades, there's bound to be one or two stinkers in there. But Match Point, for my money, is his best yet.It's just so different. It is his most different work from anything else he has done and, unlike his other films, it is not immediately identifiable as A Woody Allen film, if not for his name in the credits. That's a good thing by the way. Different is good.But moreover, it's different from anything I've ever seen before or since. Not so different that it feels TOO different. It's still very fun, unpredictable, and keeps you on the edge of your seat right up until the end, and then sends you home with a an ear-to-ear grin on your face. See it if you haven't yet. Tell your friends to see it. It's very good.

Woody Allen, among the Elite of Film Director's in Film Industry, & 4 time Academy Award winner, has created a luster which continues to shine since before his Masterpiece, Mahattan, who else can speak (Woody is so leveled headed, "bragging" is never synonymous with this genius,) So many others can learn from his Sanity,. Oddly enough Johansen, who is a rare miscast, nearly ruins the film, but Woody's genius saves the day. Filmed in London, a refreshing departure from Woody's New York domain, where filmmaking representation has never been equaled on Mr. Allen's respected level.

The vague and vacuous title of my review very much resembles that of the film itself; Match Point. Within the context of this production, what exactly does it mean? So, yes, one of the leading characters was a former tennis pro but that seems about the only reference to the film name. Neither have I read any review or reference to the fact that this is all very bizarre. As for the movie itself, I have never been a fan of Woody Allen but the large part of this film is engrossing with greed, morals and attitude's of the monied classes very much to the fore. Towards the end there is an inexplicable act that doesn't in my opinion justify the angst that has led upto it. However jolly entertaining.

I had to watch this movie with my girlfriend and she finally conceded that this movie is "not one of her favorites". In my opinion: The best part of the movie was the long expected end. Unfortunately, 2 hours of absurdity and boredom in my life, I will never get back. Moreover, it was very exhausting keeping my eyes opened by following the story of senselessness. Maybe the movie is addressed to opera friends since the music is quite good from time to time. Sorry to all fans, but I don't get it! I am still wondering about the reason for such melodramatic story lines! I hope to save someones evening by preventing him from watching this movie, because all other ratings are misdirecting, I think.
