A nobody who wants to be somebody so bad, he grabs any occasion to pretend he is something he is not - and successfully! In Dickie's shoes, I don't know, if I had befriended Tom so easily, he seemed awkward, strange, and agenda driven. Anyway as the plot progresses it becomes more and more disturbing up till the very last scene. All together some plot twists came as a surprise, e.g. Dickie's father completely trusting Tom after Dickie's disappearance, and the afore mentioned disturbing end.

"I always thought it would be better to be a fake somebody than a real nobody." Most uncomfortable i have ever felt watching a movie but that is a big positive. Matt Damon steals the show in his role along with Jude Long in making a suspenseful takeover of another man's life. Delusion and grandeur are a toxic mix.

Parts of the movie were better than the book, especially the ending. The ending deserves a few extra stars. Gwyneth Paltrow had a brilliant scene.

A small-scale imposter / con man, making the rounds in 1950s New York, gets caught up in something much greater than his usual scam and decides to let it ride, if just to see where he winds up. In this case the answer is Italy, gorgeous vestige of the old world with just a few hints of the modern on More
