Match Point is a 2005 thriller film directed by Woody Allen and starring Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, and Emily Mortimer. The movie begins with Chris Wilton (Jonathan Rhys Meyers), a former tennis player from Ireland who moves to London to work as a tennis coach. Chris has a cunning mind, and as he begins to establish himself in the upper echelons of British society, he becomes obsessed with the idea of climbing the social ladder even higher.

The movie's first act establishes Chris's character and his relationships with his girlfriend, Chloe (Emily Mortimer), and a wealthy American socialite, Nola Rice (Scarlett Johansson), whom he meets at Chloe's family's art gallery. Chris is quickly enamored by Nola's beauty and intelligence, and they begin a passionate and secretive affair.

As the story progresses, Chris's ambition and deceitful tendencies become clearer. He uses his relationship with Chloe to gain access to her family's wealth and influence, while at the same time keeping his affair with Nola a secret. But when Chloe becomes suspicious of Chris's behavior and confronts him, he breaks off their relationship and focuses entirely on Nola.

As their affair continues, Chris becomes increasingly desperate to find a way out of his complicated love triangle. He knows that Chloe's family would never approve of his relationship with Nola, so when Nola becomes pregnant, Chris begins to plot a way to get rid of her without leaving any evidence.

The second half of the movie is filled with suspense as Chris's plan begins to unfold. The viewer is left to wonder whether or not Chris will succeed in his twisted plot and what the consequences of his actions will be.

As with many of Woody Allen's films, Match Point is a character-driven movie that explores the themes of love, desire, ambition, and morality. The performances by Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, and Emily Mortimer are all top-notch, and the film's suspenseful plot keeps the viewer engaged from start to finish.

Overall, Match Point is a well-crafted movie that showcases Woody Allen's skill as a filmmaker and storyteller. It's a movie that stays with you long after the credits roll, and one that is worth revisiting time and time again.

Match Point is a 2005 drama with a runtime of 2 hours and 4 minutes. It has received mostly positive reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 7.6 and a MetaScore of 72.
