- How The Best Tom Ripley Movie Changed The Book
Based on Patricia Highsmith's second Ripley novel, Ripley Under Ground is the most obscure of the films, despite being the most recent. The story sees Ripley and his accomplices covering up the death of an acclaimed painter and having another artist produce similar works to cash in. Barry Pepper (of the 2019 horror movie Crawl) plays Ripley but des...
While it arrived a few years after Matt Damon's The Talented Mr. Ripley, Ripley's Game isn't an official sequel. Based on the third novel, this entry cast John Malkovich (Con Air) as Ripley, who ropes a terminally ill neighbor into becoming a hitman for him. Malkovich is superb in the role and is backed by a solid cast, but while it's a decent thri...
The first adaptation of The Talented Mr. Ripley (and one of few to predate Matt Damon's entry) made a star out of the very, very handsome Alain Delon.

The movie has a stellar cast, including Matt Damon as the title character, Jude Law, Cate Blanchett (Carol), and many more, and it fleshes out every aspect of Ripley. He can be charming but vulnerable, calculating but relatable. The movie also fleshes out the queer aspects of Ri...
The version of The Talented Mr. Ripley starring Damon and Jude Lawstands out as the best, but it does make some notable changes to Highsmith's book. One of these is the fact that, in the book, Tom and Dickie did already know each other before meeting in Italy, though they weren't close. (In the movie, Tom completely lies about having been to Prince...
