Match Point Movie Review by Jarrod  (7/23/2007) |

'Match Point' is reminiscent of A Place in the Sun, the 50s classic with Montgomery Clift and Elizabeth Taylor, and I think Woody Allen consciously chose to use that movie as a model for this one, to bring it into the modern era, to make it more sensuous and provocative, in what proves to be one of his best films.
