thought THE GIFT was going to be good film and my expectations were morethan satisfied. Raimi is probably best known for his SPIDERMAN blockbuster and the EVILDEAD films but cant help thinking hes far better suited to humandramas like this film and SIMPLE PLAN wont go so far as to say he steals the show butas confirmed Reeves hater found his performance totally convincing. The only problem with the twist is that after youve seenit the second or third time its not as moving or touching as it wasthe first time.

If remember correctly SIMPLE PLANalso suffers slightly from the screenwriter not doing his homeworkregarding forensics Praise indeed In terms of pace intelligence and characterisation Billy Bob Thorntonand Tom Epperson have written very good script but have onegenuine complaint regarding forensics thought THE GIFT was going to be good film and my expectations were morethan satisfied.

Part human drama on being anoutsider part court room drama part whodunnit and part supernaturalmystery THE GIFT could have ended up as an unfocused mess but Raimipulls it off In the court scenes evidence ispresented but there is nothing regarding forensic evidence which doeslead to fairly big plot hole But suppose can forgive this because of ahaunting and touching shock twist at the end The only problem with the twist is that after youve seenit the second or third time its not as moving or touching as it wasthe first time.
