Could be more intense

Rating: 6/10 (28 September 2013)

Chris Wilton (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) is a tennis pro who befriends wealthy Tom Hewett (Matthew Goode). Tom's sister Chloe (Emily Mortimer) falls for Chris but Chris has only eyes for Tom's fiancée Nola Rice (Scarlett Johansson). Nevertheless, Chris marries Chloe for her family money.
I found the story moved slowly. I feel like the movie can start much later. Starting the story from when Chris meets Tom seems unnecessary. Squeezing the timeline would help increase the tension. Although a tense thriller isn't necessarily a Woody Allen trademark.
Jonathan Rhys Meyers gives an interesting performance. He's suave enough to catch Chloe but creepy enough when he's with Nola. Scarlett's performance is basically looking hot and do a bit of yelling. I don't think she stretched very much. We all know she's hot. Everybody else plays it straight.
