The story is intriguing, but it's heavily padded.
The movie rolls the ENTIRE soundtrack in its running time. Every song is played from start to finish, while often the action pauses completely. The movie struggles ro fill its mere 100 mins running time, so it feels longer than 3 hrs. And why is that? It lacks more plot points. Talented Mr. Ripley did this better because there was more stuff going on in it.
