Great flick! Seductive story of lust and luck that becomes a gut-wrenching thriller, smart all the way through and brilliantly acted. Woody Allen directs, but not in any tone that would have identified him had I not seen his name on the credits... except perhaps that he's more brilliant than I normally give him credit for.

5 outta 5.

IMDB write-up.


EDITED TO SAY: Scarlett Johansson is freakin' HAWT.


.

i loved this movie. it was so well done. i heard that it's very similar to another woody allen film, but i haven't seen it....nor do i remember the name apparently.

oh, and Jonathan Rhys Meyers is freakin' HAWT.........and Scarlett Johansson is very beautiful.

I also loved this flick. The ending was great.....twisty and not your every day happily ever after.
A comment made near the beginning of the movie was so poignant.

I agree, fantastic movie. I absolutely loved it!

edited to add: This movie put Scarlett Johansson on my "list!"

i knew i had answered this question before!

that's funny, cause when i saw this, i was surprised that i hadn't started a topic on this movie before. apparently, i did.

Well, you apparently did... but this thread is WAY better than that one.

So his other movies haven't been about the romantic entanglements of wealthy urbanites deceiving themselves and others to pursue illicit relationships? I think you just like this one because he put sports in it, Troy!

Looking forward to seeing this myself, I like most of Woody Allen's films. And how could Scarlett Johansson not be on anyone's list after Lost In Translation?

Ha! Touche. Except.... get this.... this one's not funny.

(to clarify: it's not trying to be funny, either )




Agreed re: Scarlett, Keithy-baby.... L.I.T. is my favorite flick ever.

your mom is WAY better than that one!!!
