Matchpoint

Welcome back Woody.

Kind of slow to start this movie really heats up. Follows the usual Wood formula - 2 female personality traits: one a spontaneous, energetic, offbeat artist and the other a motherly care-giver type and his main male character will have to chose between the two.

Nice twist at the end but never really gets going. 3 out of 5 seems about right

Average only performance from Jonathan Rhys Meyers, a little wooden at the start and somehow missed the potential that this role had. Scarlett Johansson was excellent.

Worth seeing but not at the top of the list I think.

Plot Summary - At a turning point in his life, a former tennis pro falls for a femme-fatal type who happens to be dating his friend and soon-to-be brother-in-law.....
