Description

Cate Blanchett leads an incredible all-star cast including Hilary Swank, Keanu Reeves, Katie Holmes, Giovanni Ribisi and Greg Kinnear in this stylishly filmed mystery that's as eerie as a backwoods swamp with a dark secret beneath it's even darker surface. Widow and mother of three, Annie Wilson (Blanchett), makes her living by foretelling others' futures...though her own has become cloudier than even she can see. Threatened by a client's violently jealous husband (Reeves) and plagued by visions of a missing towns-girl (Holmes), Annie is unwittingly pulled into a thicket of lies and deception in which her extraordinary gift could be used against her...and get her killed. Written by Billy Bob Thornton and Tom Epperson and directed by Sam Raimi, The Gift is a gripping tale of supernatural intrigue...and chilling terror.

  • Weak and Boring

    By Semnick01
    Sam Raimi was certainly not at his best moment when he did this movie. Very long and very boring, although Cate Blanchett delivers a good acting, as does Greg Kinnear and Giovanni Ribisi. The script is ordinary, it's weak. Not a good story to tell.

    Besides the great acting, especially Giovanni, and the creepiness, there is heart in this story and a great sound track.

  • I enjoyed this probably more than I should have.

    But it's hard to go wrong with Blanchette, especially, and I have a super soft spot for Reeves (because of the first film I saw him in - Permanent Record - check it out) and Swank was a revelation... outside of Boys Don't Cry, her performances have failed to move me - I rarely believe a moment of them - but she seemed to own the character she plays in this. No real surprises in this, but I saw it with two other people and they were both surprised by the twists and turns, so take that for what it's worth.

  • Great movie!

    All of the actors in this movie were excellent. It was kinda scary during some parts and scandalous during others.

    I didn't see this movie until about a few years after it was released to video, but it has become one of my favorites. It has an awesome cast with a tons of twists and an unexpected ending that had me shouting at the screen. Defineatley one to add to your movie collection.

    I was happy to see that this movie was offered on itunes; however, the sound quality is crappy! And no, it's not because of my computer. I just watched something else & had no issue whatsoever.
