Amazingly pretentious excrement!

Rating: 1/10 (8 September 2009)

Match Point is a truly awful film. The one word that I think sums it up is pretentious. Everything about it, from the horribly stuffy dialogue to the paper-thin plot and non-existent character development, exudes pretentiousness. The film attempts to present itself as a study of nihilism, but fails miserably.
The irony is that Woody Allen actually believes this hogwash is one of his best works.
I don't usually bother to review films that I hate, but when something this horrendous gets almost universally praised by so-called "experts" in the field, I feel the need to put the truth across.
I'm just glad I didn't pay to watch it. Although, I did waste two valuable hours.
