Match Point (2005)

Interesting flick. I've seen two other Woody Allen flicks and both made me interested in seeing another. About halfway through this one, I was very unsure about it. It moves incredibly, incredibly slowly, but it builds so carefully that by the end of the movie, the ending makes such perfect sense and fits in so nicely with everything else that's happened. The movie was definitely redeemed by that wonderful, wonderful ending that felt completely right because it *fit*. However, if you're not ready for a slow buildup... you may want to pass. 3.5 stars.
