Watched Match Point last night and in a word, I thought it was terrible. But I see that others give it 4 stars on Amazon, so you guys go rent it and tell me what you think.

Scarlett Johansson looks great, and she and the rest of the rest of the cast gave good performances. The budget is obviously high enough, but the movie still has the feel of a bad "B" movie to me. There are holes in the plot, in that the characters act unrealistically, forced rather than being developed. The movie ends abruptly, making me wonder if that was done for some kind of "tension" or if they just got tired of filming or editing and just left it at that. Kind of made me think it was trying to be something it wasn't. It definitely wasn't any good, not entertaining, not thrilling, not particularly sexy (except Scarlett Johansson does look good). It just leaves you feeling bad for wasting your time watching the thing.
