Scoop is certainly an underrated movie and one of Woody Allen's best. Allen manages to perfectly make the audience feel suspense, or start howling with laughter at any given moment. And its an interesting role to see Hugh Jackman play. This movie contains one of what I believe to be best scenes in a movie ever when Scarlett Johansson and Woody Allen walk slowly to the apartment building as we hear someone screaming, "There's been another murder!" as all we hear is the woman's screaming and sobbing and the slow footsteps of everyone walking to the building. The way this scene is shot is amazing and really makes you feel the danger the characters feel, and get the feeling you're there with them watching the events unfold. I do however have 1 complaint. Woody Allen's character dies, and for seemingly no reason! One could argue it was so Scarlett Johansson could get Hugh Jackman confessing on tape, but Woody Allen already had evidence that he was the killer. So why did Allen's character die? Aside for that this movie is fantastic and a must watch!
