About this product

Product Information

Annie Wilson (Cate Blanchett) is a young widow living in Brixton, Georgia, who does psychic readings. She has a power that allows her to see things her neighbors don't see, and she talks about the things that they try to keep quiet. She eventually stirs up trouble by advising Valerie Barksdale (Hilary Swank) to leave her abusive husband, Donnie (an effectively menacing Keanu Reeves). Donnie chases after Annie and threatens her and her young sons. Then Jessica King (Katie Holmes), a sexually liberated rich girl, disappears, and Annie has visions of a gruesome murder that endanger her own life. THE GIFT is an unusual supernatural thriller. Director Sam Raimi (A SIMPLE PLAN) and DP Jamie Anderson use the huge gnarled trees and foggy swamps of Savannah to create a palpable sense of dread, and Raimi really knows how to jolt an audience. The script, by Billy Bob Thornton (SLING BLADE) and Tom Epperson, has enough twists to keep the audience guessing. Blanchett is very believable, and Giovanni Ribisi gives a heart-wrenching performance as Buddy Cole, a disturbed young man who seeks Annie's counsel. Their relationship gives the film an emotional weight that makes it more than just a good thriller.

GREAT CAST - Excellent acting and highly enjoyable mystery.
This is not the typical commercial, huge, must-see, blockbuster, action-packed type of film. It's a terrific who-done-it mystery. The acting is excellent. I bought this film for my mother because I own an online psychic company called Tarotti and she work with me. We too have "The Gift" and we too face some of the same difficulties as the protagonist of this film. This film is very true-to-life and Keanu Reeves plays a very different type of character than his normal roles which was a great deal of fun to see. Enjoy.This is not the typical commercial, huge, must-see, blockbuster, action-packed type of film. It's a terrific who-done-it mystery. The acting is excellent.

Feels to much like a low budget film with a great cast.
Written by Billy Bob Thorton this really is a great story but watching the film makes you feel like you're watching a student film. With a cast like Cate Blanchett, Giovanni Ribisi, Keanu Reeves, Katie Holmes, Greg Kinnear, and Hilary Swank you really would expect more. The story was told well and you can see Billy Bob's (Sling Blade fame) southern roots showing. It was photographed well and even directed pretty well by Sam Raimi but I cant seem to shake the low budget feel to the film. The special features on the DVD were lacking. Really only one featurette about making the film and the rest was just advertisement for other movies. I would rent this film for a good weekend thriller with a bowl of popcorn but you might want to avoid buying it since you really would not ...

I would rent this film for a good weekend thriller with a bowl of popcorn but you might want to avoid buying it since you really would not want to watch it more than a couple of times. It's one of those stories that once you know how it ends it is no longer watching again.

Wont Be Watching This One In The Dark Again
I learned my lesson..a true horror film that delivers what it promises..Kate Blanchett stars as a Medium who tries to help people who don't seem to appreciate her or her gift..Hilary Swank plays the abused Wife of a redneck who can fight a Woman, but not a Man, isn't that how it always is? When she attempts to help the abused Wife the abusive hubby shows up and shows what a big man he is by attacking and beating up his Wife in full view of the medium and her 3 young Kids, he then attacks the medium and threatens her Kids..she goes to the police, but they unfortunately send out his fishing buddy so nothing is done..turning her attention back to a mentally ill young Man who desperatelyt needs her help and attention..we later learn the truth behind his illness she feels she's losing her ...

Great storyline, great cast, fantastic acting..This is one roller coaster ride of a movie that will leave you wanting more!!

A great two hours - non-arachnid Raimi
Annie Wilson (Blanchett) has "The Gift", psychic abilities which she uses to try to help people. Of course, this means that she is drawn in to the troubles and pain of others. Recently widowed, she is trying to be a single parent to her sons, while making her own way forward. Blanchett is stand-out, as one of the characters says, "the heart of the town", even though distrusted and rejected by the status quo. There are some scary scenes, but like all Raimi films, what markes "The Gift" is the depth of human feeling and experience. Directed by Sam Raimi, written by Billy-Bob Thornton, starring Cate Blanchett, and featuring Giovanni Ribisi, Hillary Swank, Katie Holmes, Gary Cole, Keanu Reeves, Greg Kinnear, J. K. Simmons, Michael Jeter...wow! There are some really great performances here ... Annie Wilson (Blanchett) has "The Gift", psychic abilities which she uses to try to help people.

Keanu does a very different turn, and Michael Jeter in a small role is a goodbye pleasure - Jeter has since passed away. In the end, the gift is about pain and loss, and how we can try to reach out to others, and how reaching is noble, even when it fails.
