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 4/5 Stars •  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 3.5/5 Stars •  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 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/22/24 Full Review Trinity Rose T Absolute great movie i really enjoyed this movie Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/04/24 Full Review Jackie B I liked the movie a lot but I probably wouldn't watch it again. If you haven't seen it you should watch it Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/19/23 Full Review Adam E Before tackling the Spider-Man franchise, director Sam Raimi was taking something of a break from big genre movies, opting for smaller-scale thriller/dramas instead. One of those projects was The Gift, a supernatural thriller about a fortuneteller who reluctantly gets involved in a murder case. The film was co-written by Billy Bob Thornton, who had worked with Raimi on A Simple Plan a couple of years prior, and it starred Cate Blanchett as Annie, a small town fortuneteller, with a possibly genuine "gift". Annie is repeatedly threatened by Donnie (Keanu Reeves), a wife-beating husband, until a dead woman's body is found on his property thanks to one of Annie's visions and he is soon tried for murder. What follows is an Agatha Christie-esque whodunit with a purposely dodgy cast of characters and a Hitchcockian feel. The Evil Dead director is a lot more restrained than you'd expect here as the supernatural elements in the film are kept ambiguous enough until the last minute and there are only a couple of minor jump scares to be found. Cate Blanchett is excellent as the vulnerable, good hearted widow whose gift is both a blessing and a curse. Between the troubled and/or twisted locals she has to deal with on a daily basis, the three kids she's having to raise on her own and the murder mystery that ends up consuming her life, Annie feels like she's never far from a breakdown but she powers through, helping the people around her, standing up for what's right and this makes her endearing. The strong supporting cast provides the perfect contrast to the level-headed Annie, with Keanu Reeves taking on a much meaner role than usual and Giovanni Ribisi turning his nervous schtick all the way to 11. The film is appropriately moody and suspenseful, never going too over-the-top yet providing enough visual flair and shocks to prove effective. Where The Gift sadly stumbles is in its third act where the killer is finally revealed and it's all much too predictable. Raimi tries to present a final, arguably bigger twist after that but the whodunit is too much of a disappointment to save the ending, though even that can't ruin what is otherwise a very well made film. Despite its lack of a rewarding ending, The Gift remains a thriller worth seeing if only for the solid performances and Sam Raimi's sharp yet softer approach. I suggest you don't focus too heavily on who actually did the murder and, instead, sit back and enjoy the overall experience because this is an under-appreciated little movie that gets most things right and deserves some attention. Give it a go. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews
