Joel Edgerton wrote, directed and acted in this dark mystery-drama and pretty much hit it on every front. It really is disturbing not so much from what you see, but from the right amount of suspense and not revealing too much.Having said that, you need to be in the right mood to see this movie--modern film noir.

I really enjoyed watching it. It was very calm and interesting to see what happenes. However, the only one thing I disliked about this film is the sound system they used the would have a silent scene then immediately the will insert this high sound which will make you freak out and jump a little. Overall, the story is unique it was unpredictable and well acted cast.

It's a revenge picture, but the revenge doesn't entirely add up. It isn't really a horror movie, it's a psychological thriller, but didn't really thrill me. It doesn't make much sense, even though it had an interesting idea for a story and good performances, but the twists either aren't clear or aren't there. The pacing sometimes dragged, too.

If you like a movie that constantly keeps you on the edge of your seat (in the psychological sense) and thinking, then you're gonna love this. Mystery and intrigue abound in The Gift, which at no time slows down or gives the viewer a break from the action. On top of a simply great story with all the trimmings that make for a good film, there's also a bit of a moral to take away. I don't often say it, but this one really is a must-see.
