After an explosion on a ferry kills over 500 people including a large group of party-going sailors, an ATF agent investigates the crime. AN FBI agent also joins the investigation. Impressed with the ATF agent's skills, the FBI agent invites him to join a new team that has a new program that uses satellite technology to look backwards in time for 4-1/2 days to try to capture the terrorist. Meanwhile a young woman who was burned washes up on shore. Meant to look like part of of the explosion, the body arrives at its location too soon, which leads the agents to believe her death is related to the explosion. As they use the new technology to study the woman, the ATF agent determines that this is not satellite imagery but somehow is using a time warp. From this point in the film, the movie moves from a crime film to a sci-fi time paradox film. Nonetheless, the action is non-stop and always captivating. The end of the film may be confusing to some people, but it is all laid out if one cares to look carefully. Contains some extreme violence that some may find disturbing, particularly during the explosion when many people are shown jumping off the boat in flames. |

Young ambitious guy Tom Ripley (Matt Damon), a men's room attendant and sometimes pianist, knew that he would manage to climb the social ladder some day. And that day dawned when Tom happened to meet Mr. Greenleaf (James Rebhorn), a shipping tycoon, who mistook him for a Princeton student and a fellow of his son Dickie (Jude Law). Herbert Greenleaf paid Ripley $1,000 plus expenses so that he could travel to Italy to persuade his spoiled, shallow and wayward son living a carefree life with his father's money to return to America. Tom was undoubtedly talented: he was well-read and smart, was good at playing the piano, forging handwriting, and impersonating voices and manners of other people. On arrival in Italy, Tom, a real chameleon, ingratiated himself with Dickie and his fascinating girlfriend, Marge Sherwood (Gwyneth Paltrow), and was soon accepted into their inner circle. He was attracted to the impetuous handsome Dicki and charmed by the privileged lifestyle. But Ripley's deep-seated dissatisfaction with his own background, life of poverty and his being a real nobody began gnawing at him and his growing desire to maintain the new wealthy lifestyle was an overpoise to his judgement. So Ripley came up with a perfidious, cruel plan to kill Greenleaf and assume his identity.
