MY NUMBER THREE!!! First off, Matt Damon at his best. Long before the Bourne movies, Matt was already star. This movie is so complex, and so original. I find myself wondering what it would be like to have be in the situation that Tom Ripley was forced into. Matt Damon, Jude Law, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Gwyneth Paltrow and Kate Blanchett turn in award winning performances of this tale of lies and deceit.
