Match Point

“There are moments in a match when the ball hits the top of the net, and for a split second, it can either go forward or fall back. With a little luck, it goes forward, and you win. Or maybe it doesn’t, and you lose.

I wanted a quirky Woody Allen love gone tipsy-turvy upside-down awry story! Wow. What I got was an incensed All Things shortly after midnight who was impossible to calm down.I COULD NOT BELIEVE HOW THIS MOVIE ENDED. I mean, I could. But, but…it actually ended that way? Holy shit!

Jonathan Rhys Meyers, and I now wonder if I will be able to shake that icy-yet disturbingly compelling demeanor he masterfully displayed if I see him in another film. I seem to always enjoy Scarlett Johansson and this movie was no exception. Smart and sultry. Wise beyond her young age.I like it when a movie ends and I can’t stop thinking about it. I like yelling at the screen in disbelief. If you do too, see this movie.

And with that said, I can’t say I liked it…I had no expectations, really. And it was very, very good. But like? Can I like such a disturbing little treat? (Maybe.)
