The story was decent, but mostly predictable. The ending was too far fetched, even for this type of movie.

BUT! What MADE this movie GOOD were performances by 2 people.

Giovanni Ribisi;
This guy can go from placid lake to TSUNAMI is a split second! What a rush to watch him! He had a couple of scenes in this movie that made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up!

Keanu Reaves;
Yes, that's right I said Keanu. For me, I usually have ZERO respect for his acting ability...But even I have to admit that he played one hell of a good part as a Battering Husband.

All in all, this movie was average...But Giovanni and Keanu make it worth seeing.

Giovanni Rocked!

Keanu wasn't too bad either.

I thought Cate Blanchett was luminous in her role.

I saw it last weekend....

Can you tell I liked it, too?

When I read the title I thought it said The Game, which I got the other day and was quite good, seems I'll have to keep my eye out for The Gift now though.
