When Annie is asked to use her powers to investigate the murder of a rich society girl Katie Holmes who was engaged to a local high school principal Greg Kinnear, she finds her "gift" is as destructive as it is helpful. Many of the townspeople have mixed regard for Annie's abilities, including an abusive husband Keanu Reeves and his brutalized wife Hilary Swank the former threatens Annie and her children with taunts that she is a devil as well as a deeply troubled auto mechanic Giovanni Ribisi who may hold a key to the events in question. The Georgia residents soon find themselves all suspects in the investigation, and Annie is forced to confront past demons while still trying to help solve the mystery. The Gift was co-written by Billy Bob Thornton, who appeared in another of Raimi's thrillers, A Simple Plan. ~ Jason Clark, Rovi

Editorial Reviews

Barnes & Noble
Director Sam Raimi delivers a long-awaited gift to fans of his earlier genre triumphs The Evil Dead, Army of Darkness with this elegantly simple return to the voodoo of horror pictures past. Cate Blanchett Elizabeth stars as Annie Wilson, a widowed mother of three young boys who supports her family by giving psychic readings to her neighbors. When asked to help locate the missing daughter of a wealthy local socialite, Annie finds herself fixed between the horror of her own troubling visions and the real-life dangers posed by those who fear what her "gift" might unearth. Raimi and screenwriter Billy Bob Thornton A Simple Plan, Slingblade have spun this modest Southern gothic out of the dust and bones of standard murder mysteries, small-town melodramas, and classic ghost tales. While its lack of surprises may disappoint some, the film's old-fashioned sincerity, with its focus on mood and character, is refreshing in a time when the genre seems burdened by an excess of irony, attitude, and gimmickry. The solid supporting cast includes a bearded Keanu Reeves in a surprising turn as the local redneck wife beater; Oscar winner Hilary Swank, trapped beneath a horribly unflattering poodle cut, as his long-suffering spouse; Giovanni Ribisi, who gives an earnest turn as the town's borderline psychotic; Greg Kinnear and the perpetually underrated Gary Cole doing their usual fine work; and Katie Holmes playing against type as the occasionally topless vamp at the heart of the mystery. Still, if one element stands above the rest, it's Cate Blanchett's absolutely luminous central performance as the strong but vulnerable Annie. She brings an engaging simplicity and truthfulness to every moment that she's onscreen, making The Gift, despite its limitations, an unqualified success.
Village Voice
Nasty as pond scum, The Gift is a creepily effective button pusher that owes a bit to the original Cape Fear both in Sam Raimi's ruthless direction, reprising a few tricks from his Evil Dead, and Keanu Reeves's unexpectedly robust performance.
Chicago Sun-Times
The movie is ingenious in its plotting, colorful in its characters, taut in its direction and fortunate in possessing Cate Blanchett...isn't she once again an independent woman surrounded by men who want to belittle her power, seduce her, frame her or kill her? A woman who has to rely on herself and her gifts, and does, and is sufficient.

    terrifyingly wonderful!

    I'm not a horror/thriller fan, but this was an excellent movie to me. Cate Blanchett does her usual perfect job in playing Annie, and I was on the edge of my seat most of the movie. I loved how the pyschic Annie was portrayed, 'cause I knew someone who was 'gifted', and from what I can tell, the movie was pretty accurate. And the musical score! just heavenly!

    Brilliant....and Surprising

    One can usually expect nothing less than excellent in the way of performance from Cate Blanchett, Hillary Swank and Mr. Ribisi, which they CERTAINLY delivered. Additionally, Keanu Reeves should have had a nod from the Academy for this one. His performance is extremely truthful. Real. A riveting story; well written and well directed. Must See!

    Topless Scene not Necessary

    Great movie....watched it last night. While I am a large Katie Holmes fan from watching Dawson's Creek, I was disapointed with the topless scene at the end. The whole scene was unnecessary to the plot of the movie. It seems that more and more young female actresses find it necessary to ''loosen'' their dignity by attempting to shed the child star image by doing nudity in their first big movie roles. Nice bod, but come on, have some respect for yourself girls!!
