DVD: Ripley's Game

A truly uninspired case of cliches by the numbers. John Malkovich is a civilised psychopath, Ray Winstone is the cockney wideboy and Dougray Scott is the refined Brit who can't keep up. There are sparce pleasures to be had from this sedate thriller but given the cast and source material you'd expect much more than to be roused from apathy occasionally by parts of Morricone's score. A truly tired sequel that should have been called The Talentless Mr Ripley Film.
