Con
Match Point Woody Allen scrive e dirige molto diligentemente un film più sul destino e la fatalità che non sul cinismo e l'opportunismo.
Chris è un tennista ex-professionista che sta iniziando la nuova carriera di istruttore per ricconi grazia alla quale conosce
Chloe, sorella di un suo allievo; con lei le cose sembrano andare così bene da pensare al matrimonio. Tra i due si inserirà però
Nola una giovane attricetta fallita, che diventerà l'amante di di Chris.
Quando tutto nella vita di Chris sembra conquistato, accade qualcosa che gli farà temere di poter perdere ogni cosa; non vuole e non può permetterselo, e decide di risolvere il problema con la violenza.
Pesante ma ottimamente diretto, parte del fascino dei film sta nel guardarsi bene dal dare giudizi morali o anche solo dal fornire un senso o una giustificazione per la quale gli eventi
debbano prendere quel dato corso.
Da segnalare la solita
Scarlett Johansson, brava anche se qui si vede che soffre molto per il numero eccessivo di scene coi vestiti addosso. Povera cara, cosa la costringono a fare...
Voto: 7.5.

Trivia random: Kate Winslet was originally cast in this film as Nola Rice, but backed out in order to spend more time with her family. Since this was filmed in England Woody Allen had to have a certain percentage of an English cast and crew, apparently he made his quota before casting Winslet, after she dropped out Woody cast American actress Scarlett Johansson.
