First I need to say that if you liked any of the Tom Ripley films, you need to see all four to see the radical differences in the way he is portrayed.
This movie is completely centred around Malkovitch, and he turns in a good, very entertaining performance. Probably the closest performance to Alain Delon in Purple Noon (which puts Matt Damons' performance to shame) I also really liked the gloomy cinematography. What suffered was the marginalization of the other characters especially Dougray Scott, where the same character in Amercian Friend was the centre of the story.

I mean this in a good way, this film was heavily influenced by Lynch, most specifically Lost Highway and Blue Velvet. The whole thing of something twisted happening under a pristine community, the arcane ending etc., Lynch's trademarks. What does it mean? Kelly joins the august company of the Coen Brothers, Lars Von Trier, Atom Egoyan, as a serious filmaker
