Ripley Underground (2005) might be only the 5th best Tom Ripley Film, but that doesn't mean it's bad. We enjoy the early oughties crime romp with art forgeries, impersonation, and Willem Dafoe defending the honor of Dayton.

Dennis Hopper's Tom Ripley is... memorable. We think he'd be a good choice for the long lost comedic Ripley movie "Weekend at Ripleys". www.youtube.com/shorts/eC1Lz...

Vince Gilligan: "I have a proposal; it certainly won’t fix everything but I think it’s a start. I say we write more good guys... In 2025, it’s time to say that out loud, because we are living in an era where bad guys, the real-life kind, are running amuck."
