THE GIFT (2000)
Oscar-nominee and Golden Globe Winner Cate Blanchett leads an incredible all-star cast including Academy Award-winner Hilary Swank (Boys Don’t Cry), Keanu Reeves (The Matrix), Katie Holmes (Wonder Boys), Giovanni Ribisi (Saving Private Ryan), and Oscar-nominee Greg Kinnear (As Good As It Gets) in this stylishly filmed mystery that’s as eerie as a backwoods swamp with a dark secret beneath its even darker surface. Widow and mother of three, Annie Wilson (Blanchett) makes her living by foretelling others’ futures…though her own has become cloudier than even she can see. Threatened by a client’s violently jealous husband (Reeves) and plagued by visions of a missing towns-girl (Holmes), Annie is unwittingly pulled into a thicket of lies and deception in which her extraordinary gift could be used against her…and get her killed. Written by Tom Epperson and Billy Bob Thornton, and directed by Sam Raimi (Spider Man), The Gift is a gripping tale of supernatural intrigue…and chilling terror. |
