[Rivoli Cinema] [2005 Woody Allen]
Woody Allen takes a change of pace, and comes out with a dark drama about lust and obsession. Set amongst the backdrop of Jonathan Rhys Meyers (pictured) as a tennis coach falling for Scarlett Johansson, who infact is engaged to Matthew Goode (as Thomas Hewett).
A cast of gorgeous people find it difficult to genuinely express what is written in the script. Some of the phrases and sentences are aimed more at something out of 'Gosford Park' than spoken by these young actors. Infact, sometimes, the film becomes to big for its own boots, however I was surprised by the twist that occurs closer to the film's end. Pretty good to watch. 3 / 5
Film notes: 124 minutes- it is Woody Allen's longest film to date.
Film title: Really just a play on words, with the 'tennis' terminology connected to Jonathan Rhys Meyers' occupation. If you think deeper however, it may refer to the feeling of an impending result, or impending decision, in the mind of the actors.
