The passion of mad love and the cold calculations of social climbing collide in Woody Allen's Match Point. Former tennis pro Chris Wilton (Jonathan Rhys-Meyers, Velvet Goldmine) stumbles into good fortune when Chloe Hewett (Emily Mortimer, Lovely & Amazing), the daughter of a wealthy businessman, falls in love with him. But when Chris meets Nola Rice (Scarlett Johansson, Lost in Translation), a much deeper passion is stirred--and his desire isn't deterred when he discovers that Nola is already dating Chloe's brother. But when their affair threatens Chris's increasingly cozy lifestyle, Chris begins to consider a drastic solution. Match Point starts deftly and ends with cunning; though the middle bogs down in banal plot mechanics, Woody Allen fans have justly hailed it as a comeback after Allen's last few cinematic stumbles. Despite weaknesses (Allen still seems to have lost touch with the mundane realities of life; his characters operate in a strange, weightless world of wealth and privilege), the strong performances and clean direction carry the movie through. Also featuring Brian Cox (X-Men 2, Adaptation). --Bret Fetzer

Rating:  - Very Slow Moving
It moved so slowly I almost turned it off a couple of times. The ending is terrible. Save your money.

Saw the movie twice to really enjoy both the acting and the story.It is a must if you love W.A. and the British culture and drama as well;
Buy it!!!!!!!!!
Rating:  - Not quite Ripleyesque
Unlike many of the fine Amazonian reviewers, I did not watch this because it was a Woody Allen film. I've never been a fan of Mr. Allen's overall body of work (although I do think that "Annie Hall" is a great American masterpiece), so I viewed this with no expectations whatsoever (one never knows what they'll get out of Scarlett Johannson).
I was pleasantly surprised with the pacing of the movie. It didn't rush, it didn't plod; it just kept a clipped tempo the entire time. I enjoyed ... Read More
Rating:  - Stylish and Involving.
I bought this DVD because I had enjoyed it at the theater. Of course the cast and setting make this a very stylish film, but Meyers became more impressive the second time around. In fact, the tension during the climactic scene is excruciating and very believable. Allen's philosophy about the luck of life rings very true here.
Rating: - Terrific
First of all, let me say I am not a Woody Allen fan and I really had difficulty in identifying this as one of his films.
I cannot even count how many times I have watched this film on TV. I think the plot, actors and the whole film just terrific.
