A good movie

To be honest, I wonder how I actually ended up watching this flick but, I guess, since I have weak spot for this director and since there was a interesting good cast involved, I thought I might as well give it a try. First of all, I really like those Ripley movies, in fact, I have seen all of them except for ‘Plein Soleil’ which is too bad because it seems to be the best of the bunch. Anyway, this time, the story was rather preposterous and over-the-top but I thought it was still quite entertaining. Indeed, the directing was decent enough and all the actors involved (especially Barry Piper) gave some good performances. I especially liked the tone of the movie which was some kind of a comical dark satire and I also enjoyed the nice chemistry between Barry Piper and  the lovely Jacinda Barrett (by the way, what the hell happened to her?!? By now, I have seen pretty much all her movies but it has been a while since she has done anything really interesting). Anyway, to conclude, even though it was nothing really ground-breaking, it turned out to be an entertaining thriller and I think it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
