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.

In lower Washington State in December 1981, John Rambo, a Medal of Honor-winning former Green Beret, finds that he is the last surviving member of his unit. Disconsolate after finding out the death of his last remaining comrade, he wanders into the nearby town of Hope, WA, where local sheriff Wilfred Teasle gives him a lift - straight out of town; Teasle explains in no uncertain terms that "drifters" like Rambo are not welcome in town. Insulted by Teasle's action, Rambo boldly returns to town and is falsely arrested for vagrancy and resisting arrest. His treatment at the hands of Teasle's deputies grows even harsher, as he is beaten and sprayed with a firehose. When the deputies try to force-shave him, Rambo (briefly flashing back to memories of Communist torture in a prison camp) goes berserk and breaks free; he commandeers a motorcycle and flees into the nearby hills. As the sheriff's posse purses, one belligerent deputy violates orders and tries to kill Rambo - and in the process an accident leaves the deputy dead. Misunderstandings pile up and Teasle shoots Rambo, but Rambo survives and when the posse press their pursuit, Rambo uses his well-honed survival and combat skills to cripple the posse and leave Teasle with a warning to leave him alone - a warning repeated by Rambo's recently arrived former commander, who understands how outclassed Teasle and newly arrived National Guardsmen are against Rambo in the thick forest. Teasle, however, wants Rambo dead, and the pursuit leads to a bloody confrontation and a final plea for and end to the violence. |
