    Fair

    I randomly watched the movie in the TV,having no idea what i was going to see. Not bad but pretty fake at some point but even with the the cliché' of trying to be unpredictable,i enjoyed it.Tom Ripley with his friends are trying to hide the death of their talented painter-artist friend and make money out of his name pretending that he is alive but this isn't an easy job to do,Tom Ripley in his try to not be revealed is willing to do anything.....It is an average movie but it keeps your interest to watch it till the end,Barry Pepper's (Tom Ripley)acting was good and Claire Forlani(Cynthia) was the hottest in the movie,i enjoyed her sexy scenes and dialogs the most.So just fine to watch it but yet there is anything great to remember from the movie

    Very positive surprise !!!

    I bought this, cheap on second hand DVD - and I didn't expect much. I had seen: "The talented Mr Ripley" and "Ripleys game" before - so I was a bit curious as to how this one would go down, because I haven't heard anything about it and that is usually a bad sign. - But.... I absolutely LOVED it. The plot was intriguing, and I loved the actors - and the ending - just perfect ! This is a movie I,m gonna watch again in a years time. At the end of this movie I actually raised my arms up and shouted: "Bloody hell!!! GREAT movie !!! There is also a bit of music in the middle of the movie when Tom goes to France I think for the first time - anyone know what music that is? Its beautiful.

    A hidden Ripley gem!

    I highly recommend it. It kept me in suspense until the last second, beautifully done!!! Ripley was on fire in this movie, and definitely 100% heterosexual, hahaha. After over 10 years of thinking it'd seen all the Ripley movies, this week i got to see one more!! What a treat!!! :-D The movie is almost a dark comedy, and i love that about it, even though it still has many serious moments as well. Definitely watch this one before "Ripley's Game" as it ties in perfectly with how that movie begins. Wow, what a ride!!! :-D

    Entertaining But Lacks Depth

    This movie has all the ingredients to be a compelling movie. It has a great cast, good director, and the co-writer of The Bourne Identity. However, the movie doesn't explore it's themes and characters enough. It doesn't make full use of its interesting premise. The whole thing wasn't utilized. The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999) was a fascinating thriller/drama with a fascinating performance from Matt Damon and many compelling themes. Tom Ripley is a complex character and his books/films need depth. However, if you are able to get over that, this film is entertaining. Just don't expect anything great.

    Forgeries and fake Ripley

    Highsmith 's excellent thriller -which is the follow-up to "the talented Mr Ripley" -has undergone some changes:in the book ,Tom was the owner of the desirable Belle Ombre château (he bought with Dickie Greenleaf's money ,;his victim's cousin appears in this episode ) and the happy husband of rich French heiress Héloise who has not got a single clue about her criminal husband's activities .

    The screenwriters kept the proper nouns and a vague screenplay ,added some hot sex scenes, and produced a movie too hurried for comfort ; besides ,Barry Pepper is the worst Ripley I've ever seen (he's got top-notch competition :Alain Delon, Dennis Hopper ,Matt Damon and John Malkovich,and he 's not up to scratch) ,lacking charisma and giving a johnny-one-note performance ,displaying nothing of Highsmith's complex hero .When Willem Dafoe,easily the best actor of the cast ,appears ,one cannot help but wonder what this cerebral thespian could have made with the part of Ripley .Highsmith 's story was slow-moving,but inexorably building the suspense ; the movie multiplies the coincidences,the implausibilities at such a speed it's difficult to follow the plot if you don't know the novel ; it's no longer a psychological drama, it's an action-packed flick ,like so many others , sometimes verging on horror ....entertaining at best ,but Highsmith's buffs will fatally be disappointed .

    French François Marthouret appears as Héloise 's daddy ,perhaps only to justify the would be cynical ending.

      Barry Pepper is the fifth actor to portray Tom Ripley on film, after Alain Delon in Plein soleil (1960), Dennis Hopper in L'ami américain (1977), Matt Damon in Le talentueux Mr. Ripley (1999), and John Malkovich in Ripley's Game (2002). The "Ripley Under Ground" novel was released and takes place in between "The Talented Mr. Ripley" and "Ripley's Game," but none of the films have been officially connected to one another.
