Scoop

Aroview: Following his success with MATCH POINT, Woody Allen returns to London with young muse Scarlett Johansson for this feather-lite comic-mystery.

Johansson plays an American journalism student who is tipped off by a 'deceased' news-hound when volunteered to help with Woody's stage magic act, which becomes the scoop of a lifetime that leads them all on the trail of the ‘Tarot Card Killer’. Appealingly cast with Hugh Jackman and Ian McShane as well, this is amusing enough in spots, but not fully realised enough to even distinguish itself from Woody's other whimsical efforts.
