The Talented Mr. Ripley

So far most of the movies I like are the romantic comedies that really do not require a lot of thought. However The Talented Mr. Ripley is not not one of those movies at all. It is a thriller that keeps the audience guessing until the end. The plot is about Tom Ripley, who is a social climber who wants to be in the elite. He gets his chance when he is sent off to Italy to retrieve a young playboy named Dickie Greenleaf. Tom becomes entranced with Dickie's lifestyle and over time decides he wants Dickie's lifestyle for himself. He ends up assuming Dickie's identity and must keep one step ahead of everyone. The movie has many twists in it and it keeps the plot going. It is one of my favorite movies even though it is not the type I usually watch.
