Match Point



Match Point, 2005. A man marries into wealth and has an affair.

Written & directed by Woody Allen. Starring Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Emily Mortimer & Scarlett Johansson.

Concept: 1/4 (Bad)
Story: 1/4 (Bad)
Characters: 1/4 (Bad)
Dialog: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Pacing: 1/4 (Bad)
Cinematography: 3/4 (Good)
Special effects/design: 3/4 (Good)
Acting: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Music: 4/4 (Great)
Subjective Rating: 4/10 (Eh, 2/4). The first two thirds of the movie is a cliched melodrama with no character to empathize with.  After that, it spontaneously turns into a suspense film.  That second part is interesting, but not exceptional and certainly not worth watching the first part of the movie.
Objective Rating (Average): 2.0/4 (Indifferent)
