In late 1950s New York, Tom Ripley, a young underachiever, is sent to Italy to retrieve Dickie Greenleaf, a rich and spoiled millionaire playboy. But when the errand fails, Ripley takes extreme measures.

Critic Reviews:

• " Definitely the best part Matt Damon's ever had and his best performance. It's also my favorite. " – Murtada Elfadl (Sundays with Cate)

• " The sumptuous production, eclectic score, grand performances and engrossing moments of suspense make Ripley one the year's finer offerings. " – David Germain (Associated Press)

• " “The Talented Mr. Ripley” slithers along with great elegance and purpose for most of Ripley's reign, stumbling only at the end when Minghella trips on the limitations imposed by his own updated psychoanalysis. " – Lisa Schwarzbaum (Entertainment Weekly)
