Argumento
Chris Wilton, a former tennis pro from Ireland, takes a job as an instructor at an upscale London tennis club to escape his humble background. He befriends wealthy student Tom Hewett and starts dating Tom's sister Chloe. Through Chloe and her father Alec, Chris begins enjoying a life of luxury. Meanwhile, he meets Nola Rice, Tom's unofficial fiancée, with whom he becomes obsessed despite knowing it could jeopardize his new lifestyle. When Chris and Nola start an affair, they must keep it secret from the Hewetts. After Nola becomes pregnant, she wants to marry Chris, but he fears losing his high-society status. He convinces Nola to have an abortion and tries to sever their ties. When Nola threatens to expose their affair, Chris panics and accidentally kills her during a struggle. To cover up the murder, he stages it as a suicide. Throughout this crisis, Chris maintains his composure, further ingratiating himself with the Hewetts.

Resumen
Directed by Woody Allen, 'Match Point' (2005) is a psychological thriller that explores themes of social class, ambition, and moral corruption. The story follows Irish immigrant Chris Wilton as he navigates the upper echelons of London society via his relationship with the wealthy Hewett family. Tensions rise when Chris becomes involved with Nola Rice, Tom Hewett's fiancée, leading to a tragic conclusion. Allen uses tennis, which Chris played professionally before taking up instruction, as a metaphor for chance and opportunity in life.
