Viewer Reviews He's a poor young man surrounded by the idle rich. Tom Ripley, played by Matt Damon, happens into the wealthy Mr. and Mrs. Greenleaf at a hotel party. Ripley is an all-around waiter and men's room attendant, who has donned a Princeton University Blazer to play piano for the guests. He is asked by Greenleaf if he knows his son, Dickie, who also attended Princeton, Class of 1958. You can almost see the wheels turning in Ripley's head as he answers yes! Thus begins the diabolical career of Mr. Ripley who is hired on the spot to track down Dickie and persuade him to return to New York. His payment is $1,000. Filmed in beautiful San Remo, Venice and the south of Italy, Ripley's arrival, his mimicry of voices and language, and his newly acquired appreciation of jazz wins over Dickie, played by Jude Law and his fiance, Marge, played by Gweneth Paltrow. The game is on for Ripley who morphs into any role required, whether it be gay, jazz lover, or companion or the "brother" Dickie never had. Whichever role he plays, he manages to be convincing and conniving. Compelling performances by Law, Damon, Paltrow, and especially Phillip Seymour Hoffman who sees through Ripley's act right from the beginning. You'll want to see this movie more than once just to find out what makes Tom Ripley tick. Five shining stars for acting, plot and scenery!
