IMDb plot summary: A dying family man in need of money is being persuaded to assassinate a European crime boss.
Directed by Liliana Cavani. Starring John Malkovich, Dougray Scott, Ray Winstone, and Lena Headey.
John Malkovich is such a compelling choice for the character of Ripley, making him much more interesting than the script does alone. I also want to mention the score, which is stellar (of course, it's Morricone!).
3 stars.
