this be a poor film by any standard . the story in match point have a certain intrigue and and the direction and write a certain fascination ( woody allen mix his own culture with that of the classic english murder and explore what can be do with it ) . scoop and however have none of this . it be poorly write and the two lead be hopelessly wooden and the story itself have no interest at all . the genre that it spoof require at least some sort of subplot with witty explanation and tie ups ( why be tarot card and key keep under french horn in locked room . ) . allen delightful and witty version of various hollywood genre ( curse of the jade scorpion or purple rise of cairo etc ) have give u so much pleasure over the year . even hollywood end have a great central idea . sadly his inspiration have desert him this time .
