MATCH POINT (2005) - Feb. 15, 2006
Well, it's official: the Woodster is back! Though this wasn't quite up there with classics like Hannah and her Sisters and Crimes and Misdemeanors (which this film was quite similar to) it was still quite excellent. Jonathan Rhys Meyers was really good in the main role, as was everyone else, and Woody Allen's writing and direction were expectedly superb (or maybe not so expectedly, considering some of his recent missteps). Plus I've been thinking about this movie pretty much nonstop since I saw it a few hours back, and that's always a good thing. I just wish I hadn't seen the trailer, as it ensured that there were very few surprises. ***1/2
