Remake

Rating: 5/10 (29 August 2006)

I am a huge Allen fan and own many of his movies and almost saw all of his movies (that's quite a lot!). Among them, there is the excellent 1989 movie "Crimes and Misdemeanors", starring a wonderful Martin Landau and Angelica Houston.
A user has written that "Allen discovers new terrain" with Matchpoint. Well, in which sense? Matchpoint has the same moral content and the basic plot is identical to the above 1989 movie.
Do not get me wrong: No one more than Allen deserves (also) commercial success for his movies, something that did not quite happened since the mid 80ies. But I think if you like this one, it's probably because the cast corresponds to what 20ies now recognize to be "actors". So do not laud this and ignore other, much more important gems from this brilliant genius.
