Arguably woodys greatest drama tackling the morality and consequences or lack there of .. of murder - another well acted and executed movie overall - having the mix of a serious dark moral think piece and a romantic comedy mixed in one film does feel a bit off even though they are meant to play a contrast of sorts - but this still does not hinder the stellar performances, particularly from Woody himself, Martin Landau and Alan Alda.

This movie certainly stands out for its realism and honesty - we can clearly see this was the building blocks which was to later become the even more stellar Match Point - never-the-less this one is a high point in Woodys filmography without a doubt!
