Why on earth was the need to cast 40 something n 30 something actors to play early 20s characters of Tom n Dickey. Way too old n awkward
The plot is so laughable. Dickie's father Mr Greenleaf hires a directive to locate Tom believing he is a friend of his son without any solid reason. That ws one of the biggest loophole in the Netflix series. He blindly believes Tom
If Senior Greenleaf can hire a detective to locate Tom why can't the same directive do his background check?? Where he lives, what job Tom actually does, where he stays n talk to his neighbors ect. How can he so blindly trust Tom n send him to Italy paying salary?
What was the need to shoot the movie in B&W??? Specially when u r showcasing the beautiful Italian coastal towns??? Actors playing Tom, Dickie n Marge are so awkward n there is no chemistry. Disappointed with their lethargic n monotonous acting. I had to go n re watch the 1999 near masterpiece The Talented Mr Ripley with brilliant cast of Matt Damon, Jude Law, Gwaneth, PSH n Cate Blanchett all over again to wash my eyes of this ugly, boring and senseless Netflix version
