I saw this movie again last night for the first time in a long time, and was reminded why I enjoyed it so much the first time around. The writing was great, each character was deep and emotionally involving, and the all-star cast didn't disappoint, with Damon, Paltrow, Law, and Hoffman turning in great performances each. How Damon didn't even get nominated for best actor is beyond me. Minghella and Damon did an amazing job making Ripley, the "bad" guy, someone that you were torn between wanting him to get caught and wanting to escape. Highly recommended.
