The perfect man. The perfect story. The perfect murder.
  • This is a such a magical romance...

Allen's second London-based movie is also a murder mystery, and even has the same star as Match Point. Our heroine is a recent journalism graduate, in London to interview a famous director. Instead, she loses it and has a one night stand, followed soon after by a meeting with a ghost while helping a magician with a trick. The ghost tells her a nobleman is a notorious serial killer. She decides to investigate (still after a scoop), and the magician tags along to help her. Naturally she starts falling for the murderer, while the conjuror switches into protective daddy mode. Reviews have been mixed, I suppose it depends on how much you like Allen.
