What to Know

Critics Consensus

With a reported budget of around 10 million, The Gift is obviously a labor of love for those involved. Unfortunately, the A-list cast can't prevent the movie from becoming a by-the-numbers whodunit with an ending that's all but unsatisfactory.

Nell Minow Common Sense Media A superior horror movie for older teens. Rated: 4/5 Dec 28, 2010 Full Review Globe and Mail Rated: 2/4 Mar 22, 2002 Full Review Peter Travers Rolling Stone Rated: 4/5 Jun 4, 2001 Full Review Jason Caro Radio Times Although essentially by-the-numbers stuff, the lack of emphasis on digital effects is refreshing and Reeves's ferocious turn is a real eye-opener. Rated: 3/5 Feb 9, 2024 Full Review Tim Stevens The Spool Stylistically, viewers will likely recognize the patented Raimi vision: chaotic frightening images blinking rapidly over the widening eyes of the protagonist. Oct 28, 2020 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com The Gift is not a must-see film, but it is a film worth watching. Rated: 3.5/4.0 Sep 8, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Monique P good movie suspense good acting Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/10/24 Full Review Keapix H I actually like this little thriller. It is often forgotten about, but has some good performances and the little suspense mystery was engaging. Being a Cate Blanchett and Keannu Reeves fangirl, I loved seeing them here Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/08/24 Full Review KB B This was such a compelling movie with great acting and storyline. Giovanni Ribisi was the highlight of this one. It's definitely worth the watch. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/07/24 Full Review Martin S Written by Billy Bob Thornton, directed by Sam Raimi, an A-list cast small-town mystery wrapped in the supernatural !! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/05/24 Full Review Carlos T Filme: O Dom da Premonição Assistido: Elenco: @cate_blanchettofficial @katieholmes @hilaryswank @giovanniribisifanpage @keanureevesfanpage2020 @keanusf @keanureevesfanpage.tr Modelo: #suspense #policial #detetive Duração: 1h 52m Ano: 2000 Minha opinião: Ver Reeves sendo machista que bate mulher, da um choque para quem vê em John Wick, A Casa do Lago com Sandra Bullock. É verdade, se não acredita, é só assistindo. Temos grandes nomes neste filme, mas digamos que não do nível que deveria. Mas vamos para estoria. Temos Anna que tem o dom da premonição e a forma do seu ganha pão e atendendo as pessoas que querem veja o futuro ou outras coisas. E ela tem 2 filhos. Buddy que é um depressivo e ela também atende. Em um certo momento vai se sentir despresado e acaba aprontando indo atrás de Anna. E claro é um dos suspeitos do sumiço de Jessica que é noiva Colins um médico da cidade e com grande reputação na cidade. Jessica (Holmes) é a filha do prefeito e esta sumida. Mas enquanto estão investigando um dos grandes suspeitos esta em Donnie (Reeves). E Anna também atende Valerie (Hilary) que sempre esta ferida por Donnie que começa a ameaçar Anna. Na investigação a pais e Colins recorre a Anna com seus dons. E começa ater um clima entre a dr. Colins e Anna. Quando a maior parte da suspeita recai sob Donnie, sob visões que Anna tem. Descobre que Jessica era uma mulher dada e todo homem que aproximava tinha relações e isso ocorreu com Donnie, mas ele diz que não a matou mas é preso. Quando todos imaginam que esta acabado as visões de Anna continua até o momento que ela vai investigar novamente com Colins e descobre onde esta o corpo e acontece uma reviravolta no final. Será que Donnie é realmente o assassino? Roteiro e enredo são bem elaborados. Porém digamos que o filme não teve aquela química de sucesso. Seven, O Silêncio dos Inocentes, longe disso. Mas a atuação de Reeves como psicopata é bom. Vale apena assistir? Se você curte suspense policial ou conhecer Reeves como vilão. Nota: 6 Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/22/24 Full Review Trinity Rose T Absolute great movie i really enjoyed this movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/04/24 Full Review Read all reviews
