Director Sam Raimi avoids typecast once again by dipping into the Southern supernatural crime-drama The Gift.
It's pretty safe to say Cate Blanchett holds up the whole film with her mesmerizing fragile performance. Not to say she didn't have a little help from some effectively frightening performances from Keanu Reeves & Giovanni Ribisi, as well as the beautiful and haunting backdrop of Southern Georgia.
Unfortunately the film is far too predictable and provides very little in the scare department. However, it's the actor's fine jobs that kept me coming back to this film more than once.
