If watching a decent movie is what your tarot card reader predicated for you, you may just end up watch The Gift. With a lot of known faces Cate Blanchett, Keanu Reaves, Katie Holmes, Hilary Swant and a few familiar ones like Giovanni Ribisi, Greg Kinnear, J K Simmons it will bind you to itself from the start and the end will surprise you.
IMDB: 6.7/10
Rotten Tomatoes: 57%
Running Time: 111 minutes
Plot: 6/10
So, Annie Wilson played by Cate Blanchett is a tarot card reader, a single mother of three and the one with “The Gift” who helps the police solve this one case of a missing girl which disturbs her life. The plot is decent to keep you hooked to it throughout but in the end you’ll probably be just like “Oh that was it?” but wait, there’ll be little more to watch.
Acting: 8/10
The performances are awesome Cate Blanchett nails it as the strong but scared soothsayer. Keanu Reeves plays a wife beater, child threatener (if that’s even a word) but does he play a murderer? Whatever he does play though, he plays it well, although it was a bit hard for me to believe that “The One” to save mankind from the machines taking over used to be a bad guy once, he was pretty convincing.
Overall, it’s a decent movie, not the best one you’ll watch but what the plot lacks is filled in by some great performances and perfect casting!!!
