Match Point

Go! Woody Allen does not appear in his latest film but his imprint does. With each new film, it's fascinating to see him rework his tried-and-true formula (boy meets girl/boy meets other girl/boy marries girl/boy has affair with other girl/etc.). That's not to say Match Point is formulaic. Frankly, there's enough going on to keep things humming for two hours. The cast is great and the script is engrossing. There's even a directorial stroke of genius I won't give away that involves parallel shots which is both clever and appropriate, driving home the luck vs. work theme explored.
