Art connoisseur, harpsichord aficionado, master of soufflés and genius of improvisational murder, Ripley, played by John Malkovich (Being John Malkovich, The Shadow of a Vampire) finds his complacency shaken when he is scorned at a local party. While any ordinary sociopath might repay the insult with some mild act of retribution, the game Ripley has in mind is far subtler, and infinitely more sinister. John Malkovich plays the high-living, amoral Tom Ripley, said to "detest killing unless it's absolutely necessary". The victim of his devious game is Jonathan Trevanny, played by Dougray Scott (Mission Impossible II and soon to be seen in Enigma). Their companions in the story are Sara, played by Lena Headey (The Remains of the Day) and Luisa, played by Chiara Caselli (Dario Argento's Non ho sonno, aka I Can't Sleep). Rounding out the cast is veteran British actor Ray Winstone (Nil by Mouth and Sexy Beast) who plays the hapless "fixer" Reeves, Ripley's sometime companion in crime. -- © Fine Line Features [More]

Malkovich ... is utterly convincing as the mercurial man who can go from delicately sniffing truffles to garroting a Balkan gangster in the blink of an eye.
