Editorial Reviews Amazon.com Take a pinch of psychic phenomenon, add a dash of Southern gothic, stir in a sharp cast of talented actors, and you'll come up with The Gift , director Sam Raimi's ingenious gumbo of a thriller. It doesn't hold together as well as Raimi's earlier A Simple Plan , but the two films are stylistically connected-- The Gift was cowritten (with Tom Epperson) by A Simple Plan 's costar, Billy Bob Thornton, who in turn draws from the Deep South milieu that informed his own Sling Blade and his earlier collaboration with Epperson, One False Move . A similar sense of mystery permeates The Gift , in which a small-town Georgia psychic (perfectly played by Cate Blanchett) is tormented by tragic loss and visions connected to the murder of a local vamp (Katie Holmes) whose schoolteacher fiancé (Greg Kinnear) is a prime suspect. Other suspects include a hot-tempered bully (Keanu Reeves) whose battered wife (Hilary Swank) is one of the psychic's regular clients, and a traumatized local (Giovanni Ribisi) who is tenuously stabilized by therapy and antidepressants. While this trio of potential killers keeps the mystery alive, the requisite red herrings don't add much to the film's low-level suspense. Instead, Raimi is far more effective in creating an atmosphere of anxious dread that wells up from each of these finely drawn characters, starting with the widow psychic's extended mourning for her lost husband, the agonized terror of a beaten wife, and the percolating anger of a cuckolded spouse. All of this makes The Gift a worthy showcase for its esteemed cast, even as its plot twists grow increasingly familiar. --Jeff Shannon --This text refers to the Theatrical Release edition.

Blanchett plays a clairvoyant woman in a small town, tarot cards and all, but thankfully she isn't shown to be omniscient and in fact makes lots of mistakes which people with better education or just greater knowledge could have avoided. An interesting turn of events lead to a murder, and almost anyone of the many characters could have been culpable. Katie Holmes plays the gorgeous victim, which only makes it twice as sweet! The suspense is contagious, the acting very convincing, and the background score is superb. Had me glued almost until the end, I did predict about 20 mins before the denouement who the killer could be, but that isn't too bad! I guess the movie's power lies in its character studies which happen to be wrapped in a homicide. Highly recommend this immaculate blend of high-octane drama and supernatural horror. At the very least, it'll leave you with plenty to think about. Was this review helpful to you?

The performances are notable, particularly that of Giovanni Ribisi, who plays a mentally troubled auto mechanic who is on the verge of a complete meltdown. Keanu Reeves also does a star turn, as Hilary Swank's abusive and philandering husband. Cate Blanchett is excellent as the young, impoverished widow with kids, who just happens to have psychic gifts. The always underrated Greg Kinnear gives his usual excellent performance. The action takes place in a rural Georgia town, where Cate reads cards for clients in an attempt to make ends meet. Hilary Swank is one of Cate's clients. Cate counsels her to leave her abusive and womanizing husband, played by Keanu Reeves. This just earns Cate the emnity of Keanu, who begins a campaign of terror against her. Cate also reads cards for Giovanni Ribisi, who is a standout with his dazzling performance in the role of a mentally traumatized young man, whom Cate treats kindly. Cate is called to her son's school one day, where she meets with Greg Kinnear over something her son did. While there, she meets meets his kittenish fiancee, well played by Katie Holmes, who recognizes Cate as the local psychic and asks what she sees in their future. What Cate sees does not bode well for them. When Kinnear's fiancee predictably turns up murdered, the hunt is on for her killer. The obvious suspect is Keanu Reeves, who is tried and convicted for the murder, after Cate testifies at his trial. You see, the body was found in a pond on his property, after Cate had a vision about it, and Keanu had been having an affair with her and had been the last person known to have seen the deceased alive. After the trial, however, Cate has visions that lead her to believe that the real killer has escaped justice. While there are a number of red herrings that are thrown the viewer's way, the viewer should have no trouble zeroing in on the real killer. What is surprising is the way Cate escapes death at the hands of that killer. Therein lies the real surprise. Viewers should enjoy this quirky, though interesting, film.

The real star of this movie is "The Classic". , July 29, 2005 Reviewer: Lorraine Smith (Richmond,B.C. Canada)- See all my reviews If you are a Sam Raimi fan then you know that his old car is always featured somewhere in his movies. This movie is great in every aspect but especially because if features "The Classic"( which is what Sam calls this car) in almost every scene. This adds a touch of comic delight to a very tense and suspenceful movie. This role is usually filled by Bruce Campbell but in lieu of his precense "The Classic" is a worthy stand in. All kidding aside this is an excellent movie and well worth your time. Keanu Reeves gives an excellent turn as a creepy wife beater. Cate Blanchet is as always flawless. Every role is excellently cast and acted with skill by all. Sam's direction is always great and this is no exception. Was this review helpful to you? ( Report this ) Can I Return This 'Gift?' , June 16, 2005 Reviewer: L. Mintah "Lotusneko" (Illinois)- See all my reviews While The Gift has a stunning, heavyweight cast of actors and boasts a screenplay co-written by Billy Bob Thornton, who wrote and directed Sling Blade, one of the greatest movies of all time, I was disappointed at the predictable plot, cliched screenplay, and one-dimensional characters. The Gift has a few things going for it. It has great indoor sets, and builds suspense well. There were some really scary moments. It is on par with a Lifetime movie, and not a bad way to kill an afternoon. Plus, how can you resist a cast featuring Cate Blanchett, Keanu Reeves, Hilary Swank, Katie Holmes, Greg Kinnear, and Giovanni Ribisi? Cate Blanchett stars as small town psychic Annie Wilson, raising three boys as a widow. She brings in extra money by doing card readings to people in need of serious mental and sometimes physical medical care. Here come the one-dimensional characters. This plot and group is so stereotyped and overdone that it would serve well as a Whodunit audience participatory dinner theatre murder mystery. Hilary Swank is the Abused Wife. Reeves is The Wife Beater, a bully so unbelievable he also threatens little boys. Ribisi is the crazy schizoprenic. Holmes is The Slutty Society girl. I would say how slutty she is, but it would spoil the story. The makeup is also really bad in this movie. Swank sports a shiner that screams "shoe polish," and is gone without a trace next time we see her. And when Holmes' dead body is shown, she looks like a ghost in a Gothic thriller rather than a dead body. She also looks like she is playing dead. Last, but not least, gratuitous nudity to push this up to an 'R' rating. Enjoy this Lifetime type film, but don't expect more than dinner theatre. Was this review helpful to you?

A brutal murder takes place and Ms. Blanchett is requested to help solve the case by the local Sheriff. Ms. Blanchett's character proves that you don't need a lot of money to still have lots of class which is a lesson most rich folks I know could benefit from. Cate is supported by a powerhouse performance by Giovanni Ribisi who plays a traumatized young man barely stablized by his medication. This movie is sad, creepy at times, but never boring. --This text refers to the VHS Tape edition Was this review helpful to you? ( Report this ) 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful: It's Creepy, But It's Good , May 1, 2005 Reviewer: K. Fontenot "wandering aimlessly about" (The Pelican State)- See all my reviews Somehow, "The Gift" fell through the cracks when it came out in theaters. That's hard for me to understand, because not only does it have a brilliant cast, it's a great story that holds on to you and keeps you enthralled for the entire time. It stars Cate Blanchett, Giovanni Ribisi, Greg Kinnear and Katie Holmes. It also stars Keanu Reeves in what I consider to be his best performance as a wife-beating slackjaw who constantly hurts his wife(played with trailer trash charm by Hilary Swank). There's also a brief but very intense cameo by Dennis Hopper. The basic plot is this: A murder has occurred in Blanchett's sleepy little town. No one knows who committed it and leads are slim. In desperation, the local authorities seek out Blanchett's psychic abilities to look for clues. What ensues is a haunting tale of good ol' fashion spooks, creepy sequences, and a wonderful little mystery that keeps a grip on you. Written by Billy Bob Thornton, who has a knack for capturing the good folks of the South, and Tom Epperson. Sam Raimi directs this flick and though it is nothing like his "Evil Dead" films or even his "Spiderman" flicks, you can see bits and pieces of Raimi's brilliant and off-kilter humor throughout this film. A must see for fans of a good murder mystery, suspenseful horror, or Raimi fanatics. It's got an "R" rating for a reason, that being strong language, a little nudity, and plenty of butt-whipping violence. No kiddies allowed, unless you're a dolt. Highly recommended.
