3/5

Match's slightly wooden trajectory is compensated for by Patrick Stewart's compelling performance as the brash, outwardly confident but fundamentally lonely Tobi.

When a play is adapted for the screen, too often you can see the stitches.

It's great fun to watch Patrick Stewart in "Match," seeming to chew scenery (and actually doing so from time to time) but offering something else underneath.

When you have Patrick Stewart talking about his free-loving days back in the sixties, you're off to a positive start.

Stewart's performance here is Electric; an in your face and no-holes-bared tour-de-force which gives us a full frontal look into his characters psyche; however some may find it overplayed at times it is a delight to watch none the less.

Few things are more entertaining than Stewart playing to the cheap seats, and since most of us will probably never get to see him in a live performance, Match may be the next best thing.

This film combines two things I love. Great acting and a horrible twist as the resolution that you can make fun of with your friends and family.

I am a huge fan of Sir Patrick Stewart, I think I have watched almost all he is in. Match has good actors but due to being set in one spot for the most part, got boring super fast, only reason I watched to the end was for Sir Patrick Stewart alone, I did fast forward a lot. Sir Patrick Stewart does great in Sci Fi and King Arthur type roles, his voice is good in anything.

I never checked the time once. A high compliment from me. I watched this movie years ago, when it came out, and now a second time, and stands the test of time. Pretty much a masterpiece.

It was an out of the box drama that felt like a theater play. The cast and the performances were quite good obviously but there wasn't much going on so it got boring really fast.
