Excellent performances from all bar the leading man

Rating: 7/10 (16 January 2006)

Match point is beautifully filmed and includes some exceptional character performances, especially from Matthew Goode and Emily Mortimer, as well as some very entertaining twists. The ending does start to stretch plausibility but keeps you on the edge of your seat.
Unfortunately Jonathan Rhys-Meyers performance is uncomfortable and stilted and his accent a little off. He clearly becomes more comfortable in his role as his character becomes more sinister however I found his performance in the first half very distracting.
Despite this match point is definitely a film worth seeing hence the 7/10.
