In the bayous near Savannah lives Annie, a widow with three young sons and a gift: she's clairvoyant, supporting her family by reading cards. Not long after she's menaced by Donnie Barksdale, the abusive husband of a client, the sultry daughter of a prominent citizen (and fiancée of the school principal) goes missing. Annie leads the police to the woman's watery grave, Donnie's pond. At the trial and after, Annie must sort through an attack on her credibility and her gift, knowledge of the dead woman's affairs, her own attraction to the principal, and a separate crisis brought on by the mental illness of one of her neighbors. Blanchett is exceptional in her role as Annie. Annie is seeped in softness, though she's grown hard without the love of her husband. Who knew that Keanu Reeves could play such a chilling character so well? I was genuinely blown away by his stunning portrayal of every woman's worst nightmare. His grizzled beard and jaded speech are indications of how ignorant and violent he is long before we see his actions up close. The rest of the supporting cast is excellent, featuring fine performances by Katie Holmes, Oscar winner Hilary Swank and especially Greg Kinnear. Kinnear has proven that he's very apt at comedy. In The Gift he shows that he can be equally as powerful in a dramatic role. Finally, there is Giovanni Ribisi as the erratic auto mechanic Buddy Cole. Ribisi proves with this one role that he is one of the best actors of his generation. Buddy's character is so complex that he might have fallen flat in another actor's shoes. Ribisi pulls out all the stops with his portrayal of the pushed-to-the-edge Buddy, though never loses the audience's sympathies.

The cast in this movie did amazing acting jobs. I once thought Keanu Reeves could only play a Bill type of character well, but he pulls off a drunken wife beater just fine. Cate Blanchett is wonderful, as well as Giovani Ribisi. Normally a thriller is only good one time, but this probably has some replay value due to its performances.

Well, I don't know what to say 'bout this one, I think it was good. Only good, I mean, considering that Cate Blanchet is in it, she's a wonderful actress.
