Match Point (2005)
A social climber with unexplained charm to a wealthy family is played by Jonathan Rhys-Meyers (I’m not a big fan of Mr. Rhys-Meyers). Despite the underdog quality however I didn’t find sympathy for his predicament as he falls hard for the girlfriend of the son of his ‘host’ family, while juggling the advances of the daughter which come with monetary inducements. Scarlett Johansson doesn’t quite convince as the sometimes bad, sometimes good girlfriend (a problem with the script also), but she is pretty here as always.
