Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Tailor-made for readers who like to compare the book and the screen version and anyone who likes to be kept guessing. Adapted from a book, so readers can compare notes. Fans of Point Blank or The Bourne Supremacy should feel right at home. Very British, in all the best ways.
The mood
Tense and unsettling.
The pace
Lets scenes breathe, at 1 hr 36 min.
What might put you off
Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

Now living a quiet, luxurious life at his French estate—funded by past crimes and his marriage to an heiress—Tom Ripley finds that an art scam he supports—selling forged paintings by a supposedly living artist named Derwatt—beginning to collapse. An inquisitive American collector suspects his Derwatt painting is fake and demands answers. As the situation escalates, Ripley turns to murder and elaborate identity deception to protect his reputation.
