Match Point ***


Writer/Director: Woody Allen
Year: 2005
Cinematographer: Remi Adefarasin

This is the second time I've seen Match Point.

Its a good movie, one of Woody Allen's better recent releases, but I despise the characters so much that I never feel a connection to them.

I think the premise is good, a man who's lust leads him to cheat on his wife whom he was only interested in for her wealth, but when his mistress wants him to leave his wealth, the man chooses to stay with the wealth and in order to protect that lifestyle, he commits murder. Luckily for him, he's a lucky bastard.

One of those movies that's good, well told, suspenseful, but I'm not drawn in by the lead performances, and its not a movie I want to see a third time.
