فیلمی با قصه ای معمولی. یعنی قصه ای که چه توی فیلم ها و چه در واقعیت تکراری یه و مدام اتفاق می افته. ولی با ریز بینی های خیلی دقیق و دیالوگ های عالی.

* he man who said "I'd rather be lucky than good" saw deeply into life. People are afraid to face how great a part of life is dependent on luck. It's scary to think so much is out of one's control. There are moments in a match when the ball hits the top of the net, and for a split second, it can either go forward or fall back. With a little luck, it goes forward, and you win. Or maybe it doesn't, and you lose.
* Sophocles said, "To never have been born may be the greatest boon of all."

The dialogs of matchpoint were interesting (as is always the case with woody allen), but I found the movie very frustrating... I think I prefer annie hall's woody allen to matchpoint's.
