Decent film. However, I enjoyed it more when it was called Crimes and Misdemeanors ;) But seriously, although the murderous love triangle is ever present in both films. Thematically, I prefer the moral exploration of committing crimes and living with the consequences in the absence of a God to bring the guilty party to justice (C & D) more so than how luck and chance are the central forces behind the events in our everyday lives (MP). I also feel that Crimes and Misdemeanors is Woody Allen’s best film (Martin Landau in particular is incredible in the lead role) and very much captures the spirit of the great films of Ingmar Bergman (who also happens to be Woody’s favourite director from what I’ve read). I’m not saying that Match Point sucked. But rather that Woody Allen handled this storyline and subject matter much better the first time around.
