This movie took me by surprise. I'm a big Scarlett Johansson fan so I figured I'd see a nice little Woody Allen comedy drama with Scarlett being as sexy as one role could contain -- and I got that -- but there are so many more layers that continue to pile up as the movie goes on. Once the real action starts -- or perhaps I should say the real suspense -- it never lets up and it kept me quite literally on the edge of my seat.

On the other hand the movie is really quite funny. From the simple jokes -- like the confusion between "Wok" and "Work" which seems designed for English speaking audiences outside of Britain -- to the more intelligent jokes which can only be understood properly with an overarching view of the entire situation -- like the "Powerful serve" line, which is as funny as it is because of the complexity of which Chloe is totally unaware.

Just let yourself fall into the traps each character (particularly the four main characters) sets for themselves and your bound to get lost in the little world Allen has set up. Every shot is beautiful and a witty comment on its own so if you're open to it you will enjoy this movie as much as I do. I am waiting (quite impatiently) for someone I know to see this movie so I can discuss each scene for hours and hours -- the complexity in their faces alone! Oh my, go see this movie!

Here's the scene: (This is not a spoiler, it's all in the movie summary so don't worry) Poor nervous, shy (and, of course, beautiful) "Patience" -- clever name -- accidentally finds out her employer's dastardly plans, so they kill her off. She is drowned by the pipes she runs into. Her dead body washes up on a piece of yucky land.

Suddenly a large group of cats begins to form around her dead body. I swear I thought they were going to break out into a big number of "Jelicho Cats." One of them -- you'll recognize him from earlier in the movie -- crawls up onto her and breathes some supernaturalness into her mouth. Now she is a catwoman.

Need I say more?
