Review of The Gift

The Gift (2000)
Predictable.
25 May 2002
I'm a big fan of director Sam Raimi's work (DARKMAN, EVIL DEAD films, A SIMPLE PLAN) but this has to be has weakest film since his second fiom CRIMEWAVE. But I can't lay total blame on Raimi. Billy Bob Thorton's script is so routine and predictable it doesn't leave Raimi or the cast much to work with. I knew who the killer's identity the moment a certain cast member turned up missing. Everyone, including the viewer, deserve better. If you haven't already seen Raimi's other films, see one of those and skip this one.
