|
A Woody Allen movie... This movie is about how sometimes we get ourselves into situations that the more you struggle the deeper you sink... the quicksand effect... A struggling young ex-tennis pro turned tennis instructor, Chris Wilton's life changes forever when he is assigned to instruct a young wealthy bloke, Tom Hewett, whom has similar interests as Chris and becomes good friends... Tom introduces Chris into his family and Tom's sister, Chloe, falls in lovee with Chris... Chris adores Chloe that is until he meets Tom's finacee Nola Rice, a struggling American actress who went to London in search of theatrical oppostunities... Chris strays into dangerous waters when he decides to persue Nola... Nola plays it hot and cold but ultimately does not want to jeopardise her relatioship with Tom... things change one day when Tom's mother, who dislikes Nola very much, insults her and feeling depressed Nola goes off in the rain... Chris saw her and went after her... and they connected... but After that incident Nola did not want to have anything to do with Chris saying that it just happened and would never happen again... Sometime later... Chris and Chloe got married... Chris now works for the Hewetts, and Tom is no longer seeing Nola... in fact the got married to someone else soon afterr he broke up with her... After he found out Chris obsessively searched for Nola... by chance they met again in Tate Modern... and their affair began... Chris grows distant from Chloe, Chloe desperately wants to have a baby and things are made worst when the one time Chris did not use protection, Nola got pregnant... Things start to get out of control when Chris promised Nola he would leave Chloe for her but Chris actually did not want to give up the luxurious life he was living now... Chloe goes mental and threatens Chris she would go to Chloe when he kept delaying leaving her... In desperation Chris had no choice but to get rid off Nola... He planned out her murder to make it look like she was not the actual target by killing the neighbour first and robbing her place and then killing Nola to make it look like she walked in on the robbery... The police found Nola's diary which has detailed records of her affair with Chris... Chris admits the affair but denies the murder... By a stroke of luck... a few days later... another robbery killing occured nearby and they found one of the missing jewellery from Nola's case which sealed the case... leaving Chris to no longer be a suspect... and he was free to live his life again...
A very intense movie especially towards the end... quite a good movie but a little boring at times... amazingly I did not see the killing coming at all... I think it's because all the chaos sucks you into the moment that you only think about what's happening... not bad... not bad at all...Labels: movie |
