maddd! the movie leads you to believe its just some simple drama but takes a crazy turn thats not so unexpected and not common in this genre....
film woody allen tanpa woody allen di dalamnya bukanlah film woody allen . bagaimanapun film ini layak tonton. woody allen memberikan makna baru pada kata keberuntungan. dan scarlett johansson seperti biasa selalu mempesona.
This movie wasn't bad... it was kind of slow in the beginning, but got really good towards the end...
One of the best films I have seen in a very long time, though of course you can never go wrong with a Woody Allen or Scarlett Johanson movie.

The film began as a typical highbrow British (set in England) film about a love triangle until a fabulous twist changes everything... A brilliant film.
Really great Woody Allen movie...I'm a sucker for someone who loves the Greek tragedies.
U can understand this movie at the END! Very first movie that I met "Rhys-Meyers" the hottest guy in DA WORLD!!!
what can I say, the guy is a jerk and a freaken liar! and why do woman (smart or dumb, pretty or ugly) flock to those type of men!?
Found this for 0.99. The child molester director finds yet another way to rationalize evil and get acclaim. You can have this disc if you want it, some ppl find this dir. a "genius." LOL
Critic Reviews
Match Point isn't one of his truly great films, like Annie Hall or Manhattan, but it's a very good one; a sign that a career that seemed stalled is purring along once more.full review
In every scene, Allen's direction is unflinchingly clear-eyed, and it's a pleasure being walked through London at the same unhurried pace that he's taken through Manhattan all these years.full review
Johansson finds her own speech rhythms in Allen's arch dialogue, and in the process, gives his film a quality that his recent work has often lacked, the recognizable flutter of a heart beat behind the façade of the character.full review
Deserves to be ranked with Allen's Annie Hall, Hannah and Her Sisters, Manhattan, Crimes and Misdemeanors and Everyone Says I Love You.full review
A captivating story of class distinctions that evolves into a chilling psychological thriller.full review
[Allen's] most satisfying film in more than a decade ...
... from the casting to the dialogue, "Match Point" just feels pickled in artificiality.full review
Allen evokes Dostoevsky and Dreiser, but don't expect justice from a shocker ending that manages to be devilishly clever and morally repugnant. It's been a long time since a Woody Allen film sparked juicy debate. Savor it.full review
