If not the names of Woody Allen and Scarlett Johansson's names jump into my eyes,I would not have watched the European movie with such a boring name Match Point.
Just as I foresee,the two thirds part at the first beginning of the movie is as flat as most European movies,the same style of Art drama storytelling.
A wealthy lady fell in love with good-looking but poor guy.Thanks to the rich father in law,poor young man turned to decent successful businessman that he dreamed of all the time until the day,unexpectedly came, his goddess appearenced.He went crazy for the hot beauty Scarlett Johansson.Then the old and routine play on,the husband had an affair with another woman,as soon as I watched the episode,I yelled "OMG,boring!"
I continued though couse I still have some expects on Woody Allen.He seldom let me down.As expected,the dramtic ending arrived,that remind me of the UK movie trainspotting.The same theme released out roughly, bad boy returned to normal life track.
In the Trainspotting, (host actor) betrayed his buddies,the scene that he carry the bag full of cash he stolen from his brothers on his shoulder and stepped across the London bridge in the sunshine and back to the sunny promising youngster's life in the new dawn.
In contrast with Match Point, the two movie shares the same hero Jonathan Rhys Meyers, a car accident coincidently covered Jonathan to get rid of an accuse of murder and finally back to rountine family life as a model husband and father.
All in all ,both telling the story about the return of the prodigal sons and having lucky endings,what's more,both played by Jonathan,Trainspotting and Match point are like twin movies.
