Title: Awful... awfully boring, too.
Review: Pretentious, slow moving, and unbelievable. I felt embarrassed for Matt Damon throughout this entire film. He cannot turn in a convincing performance to save his life. How the other characters in the film couldn't see through Mr. Ripley's shallowness is surreal. This astonishment totally subverts the audience's ability to suspend disbelief and begins to sink this tawdry film almost from the first reel. The most excruciatingly dull film experience I've had in a long time.
