Plot:
The slippery protagonist of The Talented Mr. Ripley returns in another deadly guise in Ripley's Game, a well-appointed star vehicle. The star this time is John Malkovich, whose older Tom...( read more

La realizadora italiana Liliana Cavani (Galileo, El Caníbal, Il Portieri di Notte) trae nuevamente a la vida el personaje de Tom Ripley en Ripley?s Game (Italia-Reino Unido-E.U., 2002), una película con manufactura de telefilme, y con el excelente actor estadounidense John Malkovich en el papel de Ripley. En general, es un buen thriller que se sumerge en la problemática de un matrimonio inglés, afincado en el norte de Italia.
Durante una comida que organiza el matrimonio Trevanny, en su hogar de la campiña, Tom Rypley alcanza a escuchar las críticas sobre su modo de vida y supuesto ?buen gusto? de parte de Jonathan Trevanny (Dougray Scott). Las críticas no le caen muy bien a Ripley, por lo que urdirá un plan junto a Reeves (Ray Winstone), su mano derecha en los negocios, para vengarse de Trevanny. El plan consistirá en contratar a Jonathan, un enmarcador de cuadros, como asesino a sueldo. Jonathan padece leucemia y le queda poco tiempo de vida, por lo que verá sus problemas económicos resueltos cuando Reeves le encomiende la misión de ejecutar a varios capos de la mafia del oriente de Europa.
Esta nueva adaptación da un singular giro al convertir a Ripley en un personaje más complejo, intrigante en cada una de sus decisiones y arranques de ira. Es refinado, aficionado a los instrumentos antiguos y la música barroca. John Malkovich se posesiona completamente de la acción y de nuestra atención como espectadores.

Where's Sigourney weaver? It doesn't really matter. This is a solid thriller that flew under the radar. Great performance, as always, by John Malkovich.
matt damon did his ripley in talented mr ripley, malkovich does his take here, whos better,, i dont know, i havent read ripley books, but here msalkovich does act great, oviously hes older than damon, so a interestin take on charactor
Already superbly adapted by Wim Wenders as "The American Friend", and with Anthony Minghella's stylish prequel "The Talented Mr Ripley" lingering pleasantly in the memory, the odds were stacked against "Ripley's Game" from the outset, but it's still a disappointment given some of the talent involved. I've seen dafter stories than this lent credibility by a safe pair of directorial hands, but Liliana Cavani fails to create any tension, and even the best sequence--a reasonably suspenseful, blackly comic contract killing on a train--is lacklustre. John Malkovich is suavely languid as Tom Ripley, but he, Ray Winstone, composer Ennio Morricone and just about everybody else appears to be coasting half-heartedly. Chiara Caselli, as Ripley's lover, starts out as a sadistic, passive accomplice in his malevolent games, but her potentially interesting character is sidelined once Ripley and Trevanny (Dougray Scott) form their uneasy alliance.
