Match Point review by TB

Love, lust and lies

A positive surprise: What begins as a love story turns into a crime film. Not what I would expect from Woody Allen. A very good performance from Jonathan Rhys-Myers who manage to bring his dark side to the screen thru his character. Also look for James Nesbitt as a police man in the final scenes. Good and fascinating entertainment.

Match Point review by JD

Should have watched longer

I watched the first 30 minutes and could stand it no more. A tennis coach is spoilt by an over-privileged family and marries their daughter but covets his brother-in-law's girlfriend. Great stuff if you liked Dallas or Howard's End but this upper-class romantic betrayal stuff is not my thing and I ejected before it got to the crime intrigue. My advice would be to get it either if you like Bronte or skip the first 40 minutes.
