"I feel like I've been handed a new life," says Tom Ripley at a crucial turning point of this well-cast, stylishly crafted psychological thriller. And indeed he has, because the devious, impoverished Ripley (played with subtle depth by Matt Damon) has just traded his own identity for that of Dickie Greenleaf (Jude Law), the playboy heir to a shipping fortune who has become Ripley's model for a life worth living. Having been sent by Dickie's father to retrieve the errant son from Italy, Ripley has smoothly ingratiated himself with Dickey and his lovely, unsuspecting fiancée, Marge (Gwyneth Paltrow). In due course, the sheer evil of Ripley's amoral scheme will be revealed.
Superbly adapted from the acclaimed novel by Patricia Highsmith (also the basis of the acclaimed French version, Purple Noon), The Talented Mr. Ripley is writer-director Anthony Minghella's impressive follow-up to his Oscar-winning triumph The English Patient. Re-creating late-1950s Italy in exacting detail, the film captures the sensuousness of la dolce vita while suspensefully developing the fracturing of Ripley's mind as his crimes grow increasingly desperate. And where Hitchcock was necessarily discreet with the homosexual subtext of Highsmith's Strangers on a Train, Minghella brings it out of the closet, increasing the dramatic tension and complexity of Ripley's psychological breakdown. Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Cate Blanchett are excellent in pivotal supporting roles, and the film's final image is utterly effective: Ripley's talents have gone too far, and this study of class distinction, obsession, and deadly desire reaches a disturbing yet richly appropriate conclusion. --Jeff Shannon

Pretty much everything and everyone here is top-notch. Damon's Ripley is rather more innocent at first than Highsmith's original, but it works with his gee-whiz looks and plays well against Law's spoiled rich boy. Law, Paltrow and Blanchett are both excellent and believable, as is Hoffman, whose range becomes ever more apparent. These are in fact five of the very best from their generation of actors, and writer/director Minghella gives them plenty to work with here. That he ... Read More

If someone would have just said that this film is a portrait of homoeroticism from beginning to end, I'd have never considered it. I did watch the whole thing though I was begging for the set to burn while the camera rolled or the DVD would malfunction putting an end to what was the most painful movie experience that I can remember. Worse than Plan 9 From Outer Space. Worse than Liquid Sky. Worse than Eraserhead. Worse than the worst of any movie of any genre at any time bar none. I'll let Matt Damon ... Read More

Perhaps because I had no preconceptions from reading the book, I thought this a terrific film. It contained essential ingredients that I love in a mystery, glorious cinematography of Italy (including Rome--with a fictitious cafe set up in front of what I recall is actually a clothing store across from the Spanish Steps; Venice; and Ischia standing in for the seaside town of the story); suspense, and surprises at every turn.
Under the skilled direction of Anthony Minghella, Matt Damon (arguably) ... Read More

Was a good Damon movie back before he matured. His co=stars were pretty weak...yuppies in Italy. Time has made a difference in how you view the movie. I doubt if the fat guy ever made the big leagues????

Overall, this is intriguing drama-crime story with a lot of suspense and done so without a lot of violence. All the characters in this movie grab your attention. Combine that with good European scenery and involving storyline and you have a movie worth investigating.
I read somewhere that this film also goes under the title, "The Strange Mr. Ripley." How true.
