Story
Tom Ripley, a wealthy and charismatic sociopath living in Italy with his girlfriend Luisa, receives an unexpected visit from a former business associate from Berlin's underworld. The associate wants Ripley's help in eliminating a rival, but instead of doing it himself, Ripley devises a game to manipulate Jonathan Trevanny, a mild-mannered picture framer dying of cancer, into becoming the hitman. As Ripley pulls Trevanny deeper into his scheme, he must navigate his own developing conscience while ensuring that control remains in his hands.
Summary
Ripley's Game (2002) is an Italian-British-American thriller drama directed by Liliana Cavani and loosely based on Patricia Highsmith's novel of the same name. The film explores themes of manipulation, greed, and moral ambiguity through its titular character, Tom Ripley, a calculating criminal mastermind played by John Malkovich. Unlike the source novel and previous adaptations like 'The Talented Mr. Ripley', this film focuses more on Ripley's manipulations from an older, wiser perspective rather than his origins or psychological growth.
