Film review - Match Point (2005)

Match Point (2005)

I'm not a Woody Allen fan, but this one is actually pretty cleverly made. I like the fact that it defies the conventional moral values and gives the audience a reality that is a bit darker than our ideals. At the same time, it is an entertaining movie with all the suspense and twists and turns. After all, murder (and the vices and human tragedies behind it -- ambition, adultery, vain, lust, greed...) is one of the most favored themes in drama since Shakespeare. What else ingredients do we need for drama?
