Review of Match Point (2005) by Eli T — 26 Mar 2013
With a shocking lack of talent, Woody Allen has crafted a wooden, vapid look into an ensemble of unlikeable characters and their lives. Perhaps the only good thing to say about this movie is that the acting is mediocre, saving it from the dreaded half-star rating.
Apart from that, there is literally nothing good I can write. The soundtrack is dreadful and unfitting, clearly attempting to display some sort of desperate poetic prose but instead compelling aggravation.
The plot, if it can be called that, is practically nihilistic, dully and egotistically ranting that luck and greed are the main factors in life. It's a despicable philosophy that makes for a dreadfully boring and downright stupid film.
