What a great ending !Reviewed by Pat Nava, 2010-01-03
The end is worth watching this whole movie. With Giovanni Ribisi uttering this great line at the end that'll catch your thoughts. Cate Blanchett always amazes me with her ability do drop her Australian accent and take up the different regional accents of Americans she portrays (Pushing Tin, Bandits, Shipping News) and does it so flawlessly. She's got a fine supporting cast of the aforementioned Ribisi, Hilary Swank, Keanu Reeves, Gary Cole, Kim Dickens, J.K. Simmons and Greg Kinnear. Katie Holmes part is really minor, even tough she ends up being the subject of the greater storyline. Twists and turns that make it the more interesting. But above all, the stellar performance of Cate Blanchett as the psychic, Annie Wilson.
Scary!Reviewed by Kona, 2009-12-23
Living among the shadowy swamps and Spanish moss of rural Georgia
is Annie Wilson (Cate Blanchette), a psychic who reads cards for
believers. When the town belle goes missing, Annie starts seeing
flashes of the girl's death, leading police to her body and helping
arrest the local bully (Keanu Reeves).
This spooky and scary thriller was directed by Sam Raimi and
co-written by Billy Bob Thornton. The cast is full of talent,
including Hillary Swank, Giovanni Ribisi, Greg Kinnear, and Katie
Holmes and they are all wonderful. Even Reeves is convincing as the
menacing redneck villain. But it's Cate Blanchette's movie all the
way; she captures her character's southern accent and vulnerability
perfectly and is immediately interesting and sympathetic. We know
her "gift" of visions will put her in mortal peril, but the
identity of the killer remains a mystery until the end. The story
is full of likely suspects, thunder claps, and enough things going
bump in the night to keep you on the edge of your seat. Highly
recommended for suspense fans.

Poor Video QualityReviewed by Wilson Leung, 2009-09-25
I won't go into detail about the movie as there are plenty of reviews about it already. What I don't see however, are reviews about the quality of the film itself visually wise. Even though this movie is large enough that it is distributed in a dual layer DVD disc, the quality of the film is atrocious. There is not a single clear picture in the film. This may be the reason why this film is not offered on blu-ray. Would earn a full 5 stars if it weren't for the video quality.
