Title: Not good.
Review: I just finished reading this book and really enjoyed it. I dashed out to rent this DVD and had to stop halfway through for the sheer irritation of it all. I finished it this morningI didn't like this movie for two reasons. The gay card was used too fast and sends a odd message. Ripley's character is more complex and making repressed homosexuality the motive for his actions is slow pitch. It's an easy solution and dumbs him down. I'm not comfortable with the message it sends of gays being psychotics and murderers. Oh well, that's Hollywood.The acting was over the top. It's too ham fisted and the actors were cast more for their star power instead of their actual acting ability. Oh well, that's Hollywood.Rent this movie if you must but do not buy it. Read the book. Patricia Highsmith is a great writer and this movie doesn't do her justice. I think I just made a pun.
