Movie description
Based on Patricia Highsmith's novel of the same name, Anthony Minghella's moody follow-up to his Oscar-winning THE ENGLISH PATIENT concerns Tom Ripley (Matt Damon), a poor New Yorker, who is sent to Italy by the wealthy Mr. Greenleaf in order to bring back his spoiled son, Dickie (an Oscar-nominated Jude Law). Once in Italy, Tom charms his way into the home of Dickie and his girlfriend Marge (Gwyneth Paltrow), where he begins to get a taste of wealthy living. When Tom begins to wear out his welcome, he takes drastic actions to ensure that he will never have to return to the life that he left behind.

Editorial reviews
"...[An] intoxicating and involving tale of intrigue and crime..." Variety - Todd McCarthy "...Visually impressive....It's difficult to think of a better cast..." -- 4 out of 5 stars Total Film - Demetrios Matheou (03/01/2000) "...Gorgeous young swells....A soundtrack and cinematography as rich as crème de menthe..." - Rating: B+ Entertainment Weekly - Ty Burr (06/30/2000) "...The performances here are stunning, with on-the-money turns by supporting actors Philip Seymour Hoffman...and Cate Blanchett..." Box Office - Annlee Ellingson (02/01/2000) "...A significant plot twist suddenly changes a heated psychological thriller into a low-key cat-and-mouse thriller....This overall better rendering coasts on the momentum of a terrific lead-in..." USA Today - Mike Clark (12/22/1999) "...A wonderfully accomplished work....A beautifully mounted and directed film..." Los Angeles Times - Kenneth Turan (12/24/1999) "Cate Blanchett and Philip Seymour Hoffman provide great color in character roles." Premiere - Andy Webster (07/01/2004) “Mr. Damon gives a remarkable performance as the endlessly needy and mendacious Tom Ripley, and he’s surrounded by a splendid cast...” Wall Street Journal (09/18/2009)
