Smart, tense, but not quite 'Crimes and Misdemeanors', July 8, 2010
This review is from: Match Point (DVD)
Intelligent, tense, frosty drama with thriller overtones. It's very good, but three things hold it back from being flat out terrific: 1) Scarlett Johanssen is fair in a role that needed somebody great. She's sexy all right, but there's a necessary layer of complexity missing. 2) There are some big logic holes in the last 1/3 that rely on us buying a lot of coincidence and 3) Allen has basically already made the same film much more deeply and inventively in Crimes and Misdemeanors. Still, in a vacuum, one of the better films of 2005
