Did you see "The Talented Mr. Ripley"?

[Guaranteed]

What'd you think?

I thought it was probably Matt Damon's best performance.

I'm watching "Ripley's Game" with John Malkovich now. Looks pretty good so far.

1. I thought Damon was good in it, too.

He's good in dramas, I think - I saw that comedy where he's a conjoined twin with Greg Kinnear and it was awful IMO. The Ripley movie as a whole I didn't care for that much. Philip Seymour Hoffman and Jude Law were great also.

2. Yes. Couldn't help but start to root for him.

Which was disturbing.

4. I agree

I kept having to remind myself he was the bad guy.

3. Mr. Damon's performance was excellent...

but I LOATHED the movie. It's just one in a recent series of extremely gay-bashing movies that I find incredibly disturbing.

5. I liked "TMR". *Very* strong cast.

Damon, Paltrow, Law, Philip Seymour Hoffman....all excellent.

Had a very well-executed 'Hitchcock' feel to it.

8. I agree.

I thought nearly everything, including the acting, about that movie was superb. Great story, direction, score. That movie has it all.

6. I like Matt Damon

He's a far better actor than his boyfriend Ben Affleck.

I think he should have played Elektra in the Daredevil movie...maybe it'd have been watchable. :evilgrin:

7. He was good but I didn't care for the movie

9. LOL this movie's crazy.

You guys should see it too. Malkovich is great.

10. check out the American Friend

which is Wim Wenders' version of that story -- with Dennis Hopper playing Ripley. It also has Nicholas Ray playing the painter, yes Nicholas Ray of Rebel Without a Cause, and Bruno Ganz as the framemaker.
