For some reason my son told me it was brilliant, so I looked forward to watching it. I can only think he was not himself at the time...

Other reviewers have already described the numerous aspects of TM that I despised, so may I just add one "SPOILER ALERT" I was utterly sickened by the awful use of David Bowie's Starman to accompany part of the film. How dared they? How did they get David to agree to using it, or was it beyond his control? If he watched this trashy film he must have felt truly embarrassed.

So sad, I liked Matt Damon in The Talented Mr Ripley.

And yes indeed, who approved showing such an obvious body double.

Also, I'm not that great at guessing what will happen next in films, but even I could see what was coming way before it happened.
