Pros: I liked Matt Damon's performance. Cons: I hate myself whenever I like anything associated with Damon.
What are we to make of it when two people go out on a boat—but only one returns to the shore? Theodore Dreiser posed this question in An American Tragedy, which George Stevens adapted to the screen in his brilliant and brutal A Place in the...
Pros: Cinematography. Jude Law's performance. Cons: Plot drags and uses too many coincidences.
Imagine being mistaken for someone else, and you knew that playing along with it could mean a much better life for you. That was the case with Tom Ripley, a young man struggling to get by in 1950s New York. When Tom (Matt Damon) is playing the piano to ...
Pros: A compelling cast, sunny cinematography and jazzy score make this bearably watchable Cons: Too long and turtle-paced for what should be a jarring Hitchcockian thriller
Who is Tom Ripley? A cunning counterfeit who kills in cold blood? A shy young social misfit who stumbles into a lie of his own making? Don’t come to The Talented Mr. Ripley expecting to know what makes the title character tick.
Pros: Fine performances by the major characters and nice scenery of Italy Cons: Flawed plot line
This movie was touted by some respected reviewers as one of the top movies of 2000. This is a mystery to me. I found this movie to be fairly absorbing for the first hour or so, until the first murder occurred. From that point on, the story line...
Pros: Great performances, wonderful cinematography Cons: Wears out its welcome
In a year so full of promising films that have actually delivered, The Talented Mr. Ripley becomes perhaps the first of these highly-anticipated films that has suffeciently underwhelmed me. It is a gorgeous looking film, tremendously well-cast and...
Pros: Good performances; talented photography and editing; a dramatic, Jazz influenced musical score. Cons: Motivational problems in the screenplay mar the verisimilitude, inhibit suspense.
Now out on Video, THE TALENTED MR RIPLEY was clearly a film, despite its virtues, with something for Everyone . . . to dislike. THE TALENTED MR RIPLEY, represents a throwback in style and content to the 1950's. It is a dark, shrunken story of...
Pros: Beautiful scenery, great cast, good acting, suspensful plot Cons: Poor character development, homosexual tones may disturb some viewers
The Talented Mr. Ripley contains all of the elements for a major success – picturesque scenery, beautiful people, a captivating tale of wealth, jealousy and murder that Hitchcock might have written – so what goes wrong? Why doesn’t this movie work? What...
Pros: Great plot and great acting Cons: Confusing, but leaves you thinking.
What can we say about Tom Ripley (Matt Damon)?
Tom Ripley has been nobody his whole life, or at least that is what he thinks of himself. He has a basement apartment, no money, no car and nothing going for him. Well it all changes when he meets...
Pros: every goddamn thing Cons: not a goddam thing
With a title like that, you don't wanna read huh? Well, what if I tell you this is the 3rd revision of this review? Would you take pity on me and read anyway? Do what you gotta do
Pros: Some good actors/Beautiful scenery Cons: LONG and Disappointing ending
My husband and I sat down last night to watch "Talented Mr. Ripley." I had heard so much about how great this movie was from many people and decided to rent it. There was only one copy left when I arrived at Blockbuster, so I thought that was...
Pros: great potential Cons: boring, boring, boring and shallow
I was full of expectations with this movie: it had all the makings of a good movie (not excellent, but certainly worth the rental price). Matt Damon is a good actor and Gwyneth Paltrow is coming into her own as well. Unfortunately, this script would...
Pros: Wonderful scenery, overall plot was interesting Cons: Execution of the plot was weak, acting was nothing to write home about
I have to admit that I'm very surprised to be writing a negative epinion about this movie. When it was first out in theatres, my wife and I badly wanted to see it on the big screen but just couldn't find the time. All we heard about was how Law was a...
How far would you go to live a life that belongs to someone else? How cleverly could you cover your tracks? Matt Damon as Tom Ripley shows he has no limits to get what he wants.
"The Talented Mr. Ripley" is an intriguing tale of...
