Review – The Gift (2000)

What this movie lacks in script it makes up for in celebrities. Cate Blanchett, Keanu Reeves, Hillary Swank and Greg Kinnear are just four of the big names who play major roles in this production. A psychic (Blanchett) runs afoul of a man (Reeves) who’s angry that she advised his wife (Swank) to leave him. Then she has a vision suggesting that the creep is responsible for the murder of another woman. From there things follow a twisting, turning and yet largely predictable “psychic detective story” course. Oddly I was in the mood for something slick-yet-dumb, so I ended up enjoying it more than I normally would have. Otherwise this sports a brief Katie Holmes nude scene and not much more. Mildly amusing
