 synopsis
A one-time tennis pro, Chris Wilton was used to falling just short in his life. But when he befriends Tom Hewett and marries his sister, Chloe, the doors are opened to the kind of money and success that Chris had once only dreamed of having.

The attraction turns to an obsession that forces Chris to make a critical choice. Now everything in his life hinges on whether or not Chris falls short again--and if his luck runs out.

Some say Match Point marks writer/director Woody Allen's return to excellence. Maybe so, but it's really more of a reminder on how deliciously screwed up he can be. Story No, Match Point isn't about tennis--well, not in the traditional sense anyway. It's more a metaphor, revolving around a pivotal moment in the life of one-time tennis pro Chris Wilton (Jonathan Rhys Meyers). You see, he's grown tired of the pro-circuit life and wants something different in his life. As luck would have it, he… cast + crew
