The Talented Mr. Ripley brings you along and builds an almost palpable sense of panic and secrecy by it's climax. The film is very well acted and even though it is a very complicated script, it unfortunetalely does meander a bit... Full review

Patricia Highsmith's Tom Ripley gets a deluxe reincarnation here, merit of the talented Mr. Minghella. A sensational script adaptation, stunning Italian locations and an extraordinary supporting cast. Tom Ripley saw the light before, most memorably with the face of Alain... Full review

A truly great movie, makes you want to rush to Italy! Trying to understand Matt Damon's complicated, confused, and even sinister character, while everyone else in the movie tries, is very entertaining. You really do feel for him and wonder why... Full review

The film looks seductively, glamorously beautiful - but has a foreboding and even sinister undertow as Ripley becomes obsessed with the cult of personality - someone else's. It's a deceptively dark film; it appears to be a romance of sorts, an adventure even, but is in fact a deadly morality tale with much to think about. ... Full Review
