Based on the novel of the same name by Patricia Highsmith, the movie follows Tom Ripley, a sociopathic scammer who steals the identity of rich playboy Dickie Greenleaf. Then, [spoiler]he ends up murdering three people as he jaunts about Italy trying to escape the police in a tight cat-and-mouse game..

~What happened to the cast?~

Matt Damon is [spoiler]problematic.
