| User ReviewPrivate ULove this trilogy too - loved this darker Ripley. |
| User ReviewQing XNow that's what i call a movie that will knock you socks off !!! |
| User ReviewRohde FNeat play on the characters, good humour and keeps a decent suspension. Might not be the most inventive plot or anything, but it works and it delivers good entertainment. |
| User ReviewDavid SAnother great addition to the Ripley films I'm really surprised this never got a UK release as not only has it got a well established cast list but it's also a great little thriller/black comedy. Out of the three recent film versions of Ripley novels (Talented, Game and Underground) this takes itself the least seriously and takes quite a lot of liberties with the original novel but I think it still works well and Pepper is a very engaging Ripley. Forget about the timeline and watch this after Talented and before Game and you have a great trilogy. Worth seeking out. |
| User ReviewSelene Athis movie is quite astounding. it hasn't been released to american screens, but i liked it a lot. One of my professors had produced it, and he did quite well. |
| User ReviewChin-Ying YThe last scene of changing wedding rings is a good hook! |
| User ReviewRobert BRipley (Barry Pepper..I didn't cast the thing so don't look at me) finds himself in London with a group of artists and socialites, and winds up exploiting a recently deceased artist friend in order to reap millions from his artistic legacy. Luckily for everyone involved, Highsmith's Ripley novels seem to translate well into film. I have personally enjoyed this, Ripley's Game, and The Talented Mr. Ripley all very much. That being said, this was clearly the weakest of the three. Which is unfortunate as this was a well crafted and entertaining little black comedy. Which is why I recommend forgetting Minghella's beautiful 'talented..' and Cavani's little character study '..game' while watching this and just let yourself enjoy. Barrett, Cumming, Forlani, and Wilkinson were are fun to watch in this one. Pepper did his best, but was really miscast. The script was strong, but perhaps not as clever as this material deserves, and the direction was competent. Spottiswoode isn't much of a visionary. He's more a director that knows how to string a story together for hire (see Air America or Turner and Hooch). I recommend this film, but wouldn't recommend rushing out to see it. Let it come to you. |
| User ReviewPauline LI have seen the previous two ripley movies and this one fits in well. I'd recommend this film, but don't rush out to see it. Let it come to you. |
| User ReviewValentin NThis Ripley isnt very talented, but the movie offers a pretty fun (and stupid) plot. The earlier Ripley movies feel way more well-made and realistic, but this one is ok if you want some easy nail-biting. |
| User ReviewIlyas MBetter than I thought but let down by some poor acting which doesn't quite capture the darkness of the novels. |
