Match Point

Quite enjoyed this but it didn't send me into raptures. All the actors are good, and Rhys-Meyers is exactly right (in a bit of a "the new Jude Law" sort of way); Scarlett's Nola is kind of the way I've always imagined Jordan Baker, though more voluptuous and deliberately alluring. Reminded me a bit of Closer - that glassy sense of amorality - and is neatly constructed. Still, good rather than great.

By the by, doesn't the new Woody/Scarlett film look just excellent.
