A drama finally

Rating: 7/10 (19 February 2006)

Finally, a good drama film from Woody Allen. And filmed in London of all places! Mr Allen has become another exile from America following Stanley Kubrick and Kevin Spacey. This ain' t A Place in the Sun but it is a satisfyingly well written, well acted and well produced movie. Some of the situations and the finale might be a little unbelievable or improbable but Woody does get us involved in the story and we just cannot stop admiring Scarlet as a sexy goddess who might - or might not - ruin a man' s life. Rhys Meyer is excellent and reminded me of a cross between Chris Isaac and Jude Law. The other cast members are great as well and I am looking forward to seeing his next production filmed in... London.
