This film see Woody Allen return to form. After years of filming the same film over and over(and with less and less success), Allen moves to London (as a result of difficulties in finding the financing for his films). In the way he through away any character who resemble him. Through away the jokes(which were becoming tiresome and repetitive) and give us a film which interesting and say something about the society we live in.
It should be said that Allen has already made a film with a similar story-line(see Crimes and Misdemeanors) but where the former take the subject from a Jewish point of view(as a result of Allen presence in the film,). This film here take is from a less religious point of view. Allen says that nothing is important in life except if you have luck. The film is a simply a way to put his point forward and to convince us. From a moral point of view I would be satisfied if Chris Wilton(a very good Jonathan Rhys Meyers) would have been punished for his deeds, but as a movie who has a point to say I can live with the way Allen solve the whole things. The fact is that Chris leave with the burden of his deeds and no matter how he try to justified them, he still has this burden on his shoulders.
The bottom line is that this is a very good film. Highly recommended thanks to a tight script, very good acting(more or less from everyone involved) and a directing which serve the script well.
