"A mesmerizing masterpiece of theiunexpected!" -David Sheehan, CBS-TV
Matt Damon, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jude Law and Cate Blanchett electrify the screen in this riveting thriller from Oscar-winning director Anthony Minghella (The English Patient). Matt Damon "gives one of the year's most extraordinary performances" (Premiere) as Tom Ripley, a calculating young man who believes it's better to be a fake somebody than a real nobody. Opportunity knocks in the form of a wealthy American shipbuilder who hires Tom to travel to Italy to bring back his playboy son, Dickie (Law). Ripley worms his way into the idyllic lives of Dickie and his girlfriend (Paltrow), plunging into a daring scheme of duplicity, lies and murder.

Enjoying Mr. Ripley - 4.75 out of 5 (6/26/2000)
"It is better to be a fake somebody, than a real nobody."
These words are at the very heart of "The Talented Mr. Ripley."
The film is based on a novel written in 1955 by Patricia Highsmith and the novel was considered racy for it's time. Years later, the film finally made it onto the big screen in a society that is considerably more open-minded.
