Review of The Gift (2000) by Dann M — 22 Oct 2013
From director Sam Raimi comes the paranormal thriller The Gift. When a socialite from a rich family goes missing her father turns to a local psychic to help solve the case. Featuring Cate Blanchett, Giovanni Ribisi, Hilary Swank, Katie Holmes, and Keanu Reeves, the film has an all-star cast.
But, the characters are one-dimensional and poorly developed. Additionally, the script is rather weak and slow paced. Yet, Raimi's directing brings an air of mysterious and suspense to the film that helps to engage the audience.
By and large The Gift is a stereotypical thriller, but it's entertaining and full of intrigue.
