Jude Law
Cate Blanchett

I failed to see what was so great about The Talented Mr. Ripley. The acting was acceptable with the only stand-out performance turned in by Jude Law and the whole plot line quite unbelievable. Everything just seemed to fit together a little bit too well - the inept Italian police, Dickie's background, and the general instinct of men to stick together. If it hadn't happened already, the movie completely falls apart while nearing the end.

Mr. Tom Ripley, his dark basement is full of acts of rage, images of horror, and they're all locked up, no one but Tom Ripley has the key even though he so desperately wants to give it away.

Had Tom Ripley (Matt Damon) not put on that Princeton jacket that one day, his life would have never changed as dramatically as it did. Filling in for a friend at a party as a pianist, Tom is approached by Herbert Greenleaf, shipping multi-millionaire. He had to travel to Italy and persuade his renegade son to come back to American to take over the family business.

As Tom has never seen Dickie before or even been to princeton or heard of jazz he has to find out all about them. Within a few days he know jazz songs.

Tom goes to Italy and see Dickie and moves in with him and his girlfriend Marge he seems to spend every minute of every day with them
