I had no idea. well then, if they think it sucks, it must be
true. by all means don't see it. let them form your opinions
for you
Match Point isn't noir in the Doherty definition. it isn't
dark and sinister in its presentation. it isn't atmospheric.
it's noir in the Bludis sense. it's a very dark story that
has a very dark ending
Jonathan Rhys-Myers does a great job as the social climbing
protagonist. he literally vibrates with claustrophobia as he
tries to pretend that nothing happened
and again, if that ending isn't noir, then nothing is
