   Match Point - Review

   Hi folks,   
      
   Just to let you know that I finally saw Match Point yesterday.   
   Disappointment. I mean...yeah, we have been used to see disapointing WA   
   movies in the 6-7 years, pure flops, so we can look at that one and just   
   admire that there is a story, it is well-developped, well-filmed, that   
   London gives a new freshness...but...but...hey- wait a minute !   
      
   For me, it is just a rehash of Crimes and Misdemeanors with younger people   
   in London with few exceptions. C&M was richer though...especially with all   
   the religious issues, justice on earth, etc. Match Point deals more about   
   luck in life in general. The only difference is the fact that the man kills   
   himself instead of asking his brother to do it !!!! When we see Scarlett in   
   crisis, this leads immediately to Angelica Houston.   
      
   For sure, 99% of the people who will see the movie have not seen or just   
   forgot C&M will just like the movie. But for me, Woody has just done the   
   same movie once again...like he often does.
