Review: Match Point


Posted by Nick (Bourgeois) at 21:01 PM

I had very high hopes for Woody Allen’s most recent film, Match Point since it stars two of my favourite actors, Scarlett Johansson and Jonathan Rhys-Meyer. However, for the first time ever, I stopped the disc after just an hour and forty minutes. I’ve never NOT finished a movie on purpose (at least in recent memory.) Basically, you’d like this picture if you want a two hour ode to one dimensional, cheating social climbers. Otherwise, prepare to be disgusted thoroughly. The beautiful English settings were a saving feature but there is only so much you can do when you realize you’ve spent your evening watching Chris (Rhys-Meyer) think solely with his genitals.

1 stars

One star for shooting in the Tate Modern as I’m sure this was not easy.

In other news: watch Brick now! If you are Hoover, watch the rest of it now. That is, if you can stay awake. :P
