Woody Allen hits new territory and returns with a brilliant film in the can.

Rating: 10/10 (30 July 2007)

When i first picked this movie out on Netflicks honestly i thought it wasn't going to be very good. You know, i thought it was going to be territory a director like Woody Allen wouldn't be able to handle. When i started watching it, the first 30 min or so i still wasn't convinced it was worth it. But as the story went on and the plot started to build momentum, my mind went from completely ready to dislike this movie to running out to the store and buying it. Now when i look back about my first opinion of this movie, i feel like i should slap myself. Who am i to judge the legendary Woody Allen. There is no territory Woody Allen wouldn't be able to handle. Match Point is a sexy, slick, and a refreshingly new style for Allen. It shows that luck plays a bigger part of our lives then we think. Match Point is one for the DVD rack and i could proudly say it rest in mine along with the rest of the greats.
