Watch The Gift For Free

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

The acting in this movie is really good.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Joel Edgerton is one of my favourite actors. I would marry him. I also enjoy Jason Bateman but I HATE him in this movie! He's such a giant evil jerk in this film! Oh my gosh I wanted to punch him! It's a great movie about bullying and revenge and that jerk got what he got what he deserved!

Jason Bateman! Of all the lovable characters he plays, this was not one of them! From the start, I was calling him a condescending pr!ck, and for good reason. I won't spoil anything. Very good movie, steady tension, great suspense. The actors were amazing, the story line perfect. Nice twists, but all in all, a good moral of the story kind of flick that makes you examine everyone you may have ever bullied! Highly recommend!

I went in with the lowest expectations after having watched the trailer to this movie which makes it seem like a really corny horror movie (whoever was in charge of marketing needs to be fired because i would have actually seen this in theaters if it was marketed appropriately). Its not a corny horror movie at all! its definitely one of the best psychological thrillers I have ever seen. I was writing a few business emails at the time so i put it on as background noise (assuming it was going to be stupid) but i immediately started paying attention when things started getting complicated, which is relatively quickly.I know this will expire soon, but its on netflix as of 5/20 and definitely deserves a watch.

Simon (Jason Bateman) and his Chicago wife Robyn (Rebecca Hall) move to near his old home in California for his job. While shopping, they bump into Gordon (Joel Edgerton) Gordo the Weirdo, an old high school acquaintance of Simon. Simon tries to blow him off, but Gordo forces his way into his life in a very creepy fashion. As it turns out, the two have a history, that becomes a mystery that needs to be uncovered.While the film was well acted, the plot was "low energy" to quote a campaign phrase. I didn't feel the intensity as I never felt Gordo was a real and convincing threat. Robyn came across as a basket case by design, so her concerns became downplayed.Guide: F-bomb. No sex or nudity.
