Trailer


Reviews


75
Boston Globe - Jay Carr
A solidly crafted, suspensefully written, powerfully acted little juggernaut.
70
Variety - Todd McCarthy
A good, old-fashioned suspenser.
70
Los Angeles Times - Kenneth Turan
Overly familiar material, even well done, cannot be made more intrinsically interesting than it is. Not even by Cate Blanchett and Keanu Reeves.
60
New York Magazine (Vulture) - Peter Rainer
Were it not for these performances (Blanchett, Ribisi, Swank, Reeves), The Gift would be fairly negligible.
60
Village Voice - J. Hoberman
A creepily effective button-pusher that owes a bit to the original "Cape Fear" both in Sam Raimi's ruthless direction and Keanu Reeves's unexpectedly robust performance as the most violent redneck peckerwood in a steamy Georgia town.
