Match Point
Dir: Woody Allen
2005
**
The twist at the end was quite thrilling and unexpected but on reflection it is a bit of a cheat really, a misdirection if you will. It reminded me of a Patricia Highsmith story, I wonder if she was an influence as apart from the ridiculous notion that all us Brits are posh, play tennis and have country club memberships, it doesn't feel like a Woody Allen film at all. I can't say that any of the performances really impressed me either, in fact apart from seeing some favorite TV actors in cameo roles I didn't think much of it at all.
