Critics Consensus

Woody Allen's sharpest film in years, Match Point is a taut, philosophical thriller about class and infidelity.

The change of locale from New York to London has done Woody Allen a world of good. As has oft been said, Match Point is his best movie since ... fill in the blank.

His first film set in London, it boasts a young, pretty, something-for-everyone cast. As enter-tainment, however, it just slams limply into the net every time.

The plotting lacks a necessary sense of tragic propulsion; it feels dutifully schematic, its ironies polite and tidy when they should be bitter and merciless.

2.5/5

Match Point is melodramatic, with the whole story turned on a set of unlikely and ludicrous eventualities, which Allen only too eager to call “luck”. The story makes almost zero sense, and it works neither as a drama-thriller, nor as a romance-comedy.

"Match Point” is a great movie, which showcases Woody Allen’s ability to offer insights into the human condition. He reveals telling insights about people who need to be brutal in order to protect what they consider important.

A glorious ride, with touches of Hitchcock, Patricia Highsmith and Woody Allen sprinkled through a film whose panoramic views of contemporary London are the next-best thing to a budget-weekend escape flight.

One of Woody's finest modern work, setting a clear eyed perspective on the consequences of infidelity and morphing a rather cliché love triangle into an intriguing depiction of luck and despair.

It has its moments, but slowly it becomes a dead horse. I do love films that go over the class system in England and how one ascends/descends.

it's good, a reinvention of Crimes and Misdemeanors

i'd rather be lucky than good.. Match Point The first half is spent on setting the obvious plot, twisted characters and dark tone of the feature and takes its time to kick in but when it does its enthralling, electrifying and brutal in its last hour. Woddy Allen's smart and finely detailed script is the real game changer in here along with his brilliant execution that makes you think twice. On performance level, the objective seems unsatisfied as the lead characters i.e. Scarlett Johansson and Jonathan Meyers and Emily Mortimer aren't as convincing as they should have been. Match Point seems like a normal rom-com with a predictable twist until its last act hits on screen that may shake the audience dreadfully for despite of its genre it goes into places where Woody Allen has never been.

Overacting and nauseating performance from Emily Mortimer, quite unbelievable plot/narrative and Rhys-Meyers character simply not credible.
