The Talented Mr. Ripley

One of the best intellectual thrillers.

This movie was amazing, and it's definitely one of my favorite thriller movies ever. Matt Damon was absolutely sinister in this movie, and it made it so enjoyable to watch. I definitely recommend it for thriller and drama fans!

The best Ripley movie I’ve seen. Not seen Delon version. Nicely done all around, with Damon being exceptionally creepy.

I liked the build up to & tension of the crimes. I knew some general spoilers for the movie, but the acting was incredible. I hadn’t seen Jack Davenport (Peter) in a lot personally, so he was a nice surprise!

Lonely unsettling. I love this tale and I really like the sense of Robin Woodery it brings. Definitely worth the watch.

Tom Ripley (Matt Damon) takes on many faces while traversing the many faces of Italy. A con man for whom we get little backstory, Ripley is thrust into socialite life in the picturesque, coastal town of Mongibello (Positano). The plot is a head-spinning array of attraction and envy. It is one of the better examples of an “in too deep” plot. The late 1950s Italian style is all-time. Ripley looks upon the stunningly handsome Dickie (Judge Law) at times as a cool older brother and others as an object of his desire. The way Damon is able to smile — like he’s pushing his teeth out the front of his mouth — is something I’ve never seen him do before. Philip Seymour Hoffman as Freddie, one of Dickie’s friend with the best line of the movie, “Don’t you want to f*ck everyone you see just once?” unfortunately receives the Boba fett treatment. He always was a screen-stealer. God, I miss him. The ending is shockingly dark with a lack of closure. I like it.

The connection between the actors made the movie feel so real. All the scenery and dialogues are what make this classic novel stand out.

One of the greatest films ever made. Jude Law, Matt Damon, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Gwyneth Paltrow, Cate Blanchett and so many others each nail their part, and Minghella is the perfect director. How can you watch this, and not be drawn to all its humour, sadness, and existential angst around class and sexuality. You'll also quickly realise you probably already know a Tom Ripley, a Dickie Greenleaf, and a Freddie Miles!

A long journey that left me with a mix of sensations, not knowing if what I'm seeing is extremely boring and meaningless, or brilliant and incredible, and this indecision makes me feel entertained in a film with such good actors and script.

Escapar ileso da justiça, mentir, manipular com maestria e matar quando se sente ameaçado, são as principais habilidades do jovem Ripley (Matt Damon) um músico ambicioso que almeja habitar na alta sociedade e por inveja comete erros que escalonam para atos criminais de pura maldade e egoísmo.
