Review of The Gift (2015) by Ken S — 07 Dec 2015
Character actor Joel Edgerton (who I've seen in things over the years but this is the first I've learned his name), wrote, directed and co-stars in this thriller starring Jason Bateman and Rebecca Hall.
It's about an up and coming couple starting fresh in a new city (the husband's hometown) when he get a promotion and is looking to move up the ladder. But their life is slowly turned upside down when a old high school acquaintance comes back into the husband's life.
It seems simple and a little creepy at first, but it takes a turn when you realize there is more to the history of these two characters than it initially seems. It's a nice slow burn thriller with a good cast.
It isn't anything special, but it was entertaining for the most part.
