Ripley Under Ground

I bought this, cheap on second hand DVD - and I didn't expect much. I had seen: "The talented Mr Ripley" and "Ripleys game" before - so I was a bit curious as to how this one would go down, because I haven't heard anything about it and that is usually a bad sign. - But.... I absolutely LOVED it. The plot was intriguing, and I loved the actors - and the ending - just perfect ! This is a movie I,m gonna watch again in a years time. At the end of this movie I actually raised my arms up and shouted: "Bloody hell!!! GREAT movie !!! There is also a bit of music in the middle of the movie when Tom goes to France I think for the first time - anyone know what music that is? Its beautiful.

This movie has all the ingredients to be a compelling movie. It has a great cast, good director, and the co-writer of The Bourne Identity. However, the movie doesn't explore it's themes and characters enough. It doesn't make full use of its interesting premise. The whole thing wasn't utilized. The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999) was a fascinating thriller/drama with a fascinating performance from Matt Damon and many compelling themes. Tom Ripley is a complex character and his books/films need depth. However, if you are able to get over that, this film is entertaining. Just don't expect anything great.

I was able to see a screening of White on White (which was called Ripley's Art) and was greatly surprised. Going into the film, I was thinking that it would be a very dark, serious film. However, the film is nothing like the first. This is much more of a dark comedy with some mystery aspects. If you liked the first film because it was so dark, then you probably will not like this film. Good performances from all the actors, but some of the lines were a little corny.

Overall, I enjoyed the film, but many of the people at the screening said they did not enjoy it.

I randomly watched the movie in the TV,having no idea what i was going to see. Not bad but pretty fake at some point but even with the the cliché' of trying to be unpredictable,i enjoyed it.Tom Ripley with his friends are trying to hide the death of their talented painter-artist friend and make money out of his name pretending that he is alive but this isn't an easy job to do,Tom Ripley in his try to not be revealed is willing to do anything.....It is an average movie but it keeps your interest to watch it till the end,Barry Pepper's (Tom Ripley)acting was good and Claire Forlani(Cynthia) was the hottest in the movie,i enjoyed her sexy scenes and dialogs the most.So just fine to watch it but yet there is anything great to remember from the movie

I highly recommend it. It kept me in suspense until the last second, beautifully done!!! Ripley was on fire in this movie, and definitely 100% heterosexual, hahaha. After over 10 years of thinking it'd seen all the Ripley movies, this week i got to see one more!! What a treat!!! :-D The movie is almost a dark comedy, and i love that about it, even though it still has many serious moments as well. Definitely watch this one before "Ripley's Game" as it ties in perfectly with how that movie begins. Wow, what a ride!!! :-D
