Match Point (2005) (7/10)

Good start, boring in between (the pretext of proper atmosphere, build-up resulting in far few dialogues) and then a somewhat predictable yet interesting chain of events - except for the end itself. Woody does not star himself which almost immediately may explain the reduced number of dialogues. Does the movie need the dialogues? Not necessarily. Is it like a Hitchcock movie? Perhaps, but the plot is not equally open. Some of the effect is similar though.

Psychology, need for stability, ability to not see beyond oneself, blindedness of different sorts etc. are all combined for good effect.
