Based on Patricia Highsmith's novel of the same name, Minghella's moody follow-up to his Oscar-winning THE ENGLISH PATIENT concerns Tom Ripley (Damon), a poor 1950's New Yorker, who is sent by the father of a spoiled playboy, Dickie Greenleaf (Law), to track him down in Italy and return him to his family in America. Once in Italy, Tom charms his way into the home of Dickie and his girlfriend Marge (Paltrow), where he begins to get a taste of wealthy living. Ripley's immediate attraction to Dickie makes apparent his desire to be anyone but himself, and as the friendship develops and begins to unfurl, Ripley's true character begins to emerge. Minghella deserves credit for creating a believable irony in which Ripley begins to fully awaken and thrive as an individual the more cornered and trapped he becomes. Well acted by the glowingly attractive cast, Hoffman steals the show yet again as the free-flowing Freddy Miles. Remake of Rene Clement's 1960 PURPLE NOON.
