Review:
The cinematography is simply gorgeous and the music within perfectly suited. Heck I like the cast too and the basic concept, I just felt like something very big was missing from this. It's definitely more of a character study (which is fine) except a little more "why" info might have helped out significantly. We meet Tom Ripley (Dennis Hopper) who is an art forger that is offered an opportunity to become a hit man. Instead of agreeing to the task he suggests his friend who is a picture framer for the job. See the picture framer has a deadly disease and a family to support (very Breaking Bad no?) so why wouldn't he jump at the extra chance for income? Although this is interesting it's too stretched out and some more clarity would have been appreciated. Still a very interesting '70s German thriller that should at least appeal to most though it wasn't my absolute favorite or anything.
