My review mentioned Ripley's Game. And the Damon version more frequently comes up because 1)It's an adaptation of the same story as the Netflix show, whereas Ripley's Game was based on a different book, 2)Talented Mr. Ripley was a big awards player, critical darling, still talked about today, whereas Ripley's Game came and went without much attention, and everyone I know who saw it said they thought Malkovich was great, and the movie around him was so-so.
But also, if you like Ripley's Game? You'll want to watch this. That's all I'm saying.
My apologies, Alan, and thank you for correcting me. I had not read your review in RS. I do stand by what I wrote about Ripley's Game, though, but also appreciate than others weren't as impressed with the film. Malkovich's performance still haunts me to this day. He was terrifying.
