"A scenic, voluptuously beautiful film... that has a traffic-stopping cast."
-Janet Maslin, The New York Times
Matt Damon, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jude Law and Cate Blanchett electrify the screen in this riveting thriller from Oscar-winning director Anthony Minghella (The English Patient). Matt Damon "gives one of the year's most extraordinary performances" (Premiere) as Tom Ripley, a calculating young man who believes it's better to be a fake somebody than a real nobody. Opportunity knocks in the form of a wealthy American shipbuilder who hires Tom to travel to Italy to bring back his playboy son, Dickie (Law). Ripley worms his way into the idyllic lives of Dickie and his girlfriend (Paltrow), plunging into a daring scheme of duplicity, lies and murder.
My Comments:
I'm not sure exactly why I bought this movie. It stars a whole list of people that I either dislike or am apathetic to and - with my VCR broken - it's doubtful that I will ever watch it.
