Review of The Gift (2000) by Robin ( — 13 Mar 2008
I don't have a great knowledge of Sam Raimi's films, outside of the 'Spider-Man' series, so I was interested to see what this film could offer. Especially with stars, such as Cate Blanchett, Greg Kinnear and Giovanni Ribisi.
What I found to be watching was a good thriller, which I actually enjoyed. The film is your usual 'who dunnit?' film, but this didn't stopped me from enjoying the characters portrayed. Everyone has a different personality, with some being excellent and some being acceptable.
It can start to becoming obvious when you get about 40 minutes into the film. I had already worked out who was the likeliest suspect before I had even reached this point of the film. I wouldn't blame this on this film, but more on the fact that a lot of mystery movies have gone through the same approach.
Still, I really enjoyed myself and you should too.
