Match Point  (2005): Rating: 4.

Very surprised by this Woody Allen movie. A "grown up" piece of work, that will stay with for some time afterwards. David is excellent as the manipulating social climber, who will stop at NOTHING to get and keep what he wants. I could have done with more convincing lust between the leads to convince he can't resist his gamble.

But Johansson is on fine form as the victim, used and abused by the Davis. It contains a powerful message about the world of infidelity and the dangers there in. Worth a look.
