I'm truly impressed by every Woody Allen film I've seen. Match Point certainly isn't my favorite but it caught me totally by surprise. It is a dark film with lots of brooding and tension, which fits Allen's style, but the pacing and narrative is so different than his other films. I was most captivated by the narrative thread of luck and chance- some are born with a silver spoon, others work tirelessly to get to the top. Some are destined to fail, others are destined to win.
