You will be SHOCKED

Rating: 10/10 (18 June 2006)

Match Point begins and ends with Opera music in the credits. As being a fan of Operas, I realized the story itself is an opera. The story is about a tennis obsessed man who moves to England to become a tennis coach (one for beginners), but realizes tennis isn't going to make a life since he's good, but not pro level good. But, he gets lucky when he gets a certain pupil. This man is the very wealthy son of one of the richest men in England. Of course, the two become fast friends when they find a common interest in Opera, and many things lead to another. Soon he meets the man's sister, and the two become fast lovers, too fast. But trouble arises when the two get married and then he meets his future sister-in-law, an American girl played by Scarlett Johannson, and the two secretly have sex. Then she breaks up with his brother in law, and so now she's single, and despite his marriage, the two have an affair that lasts for a long time, all secret of course.
The movie's plot thickens later for other reasons, and the man gets caught between the two women he loves, and he must face his options. What makes it good is you NEVER expect what happens. Highly recommended for boys and girls of all ages (to a point, I'm not saying a 6 year old would enjoy it)
