Review of The Gift
Year: 2000 Reviewer: Chris Docker
The Gift does rather better than the average psychic-helps-cops-find-the-killer movie. Blanchett, who researched the role extensively, comes over as a deep and convincing reader-of-cards, Keanu Reeves is the wife-beating bully and Hilary Swank continues to do what she did so well in Boys Don't Cry - the downtrodden, abused and kicked-so-far-out-of-normal-reality-it-hurts woman. Director Sam Raimi delivers masterful suspense and shocks in one of his best films since Evil Dead.
Rating: 7/10
