This really was a great film, with a fun, fast paced start; life can't seem to get any better for Dickey and Ripley. But soon enough it all takes a turn for the worst. The extreme measures taken by Ripley are shocking, and although you can't help but feel sorry for him, you know that he's gone too far. Despite all the horrible things that he does though, you can’t help but want him to get away with it. The plot was incredibly intriguing and you can never tell what is going to happen next, and the ending leaves you on the biggest cliff-hanger of all time, leaving your to try and work out for yourself what happens to Ripley next.
