 the gift 2015 movie review. Hey what's up guys it's Josh here today I want to do a little movie review on a movie called the gift from 2015 not to be confused with the gift from 2000 which I also just reviewed. Both of them are kind of unknown movies that are very good very R rated and both kind of mysteries so anyways guys let's just jump right into the pros because I'm sure I'll talk about the story at some point so the pros of this movie I had a lot the acting here was all very very good it is pretty low budget so you don't have too many actors and actresses but now especially Jason Bateman now I've always liked Jason Bateman as an actor but his range in here is phenomenal the character that he has to play and the progression here is fantastic like he is so so impressive as an actor and I loved his progression from beginning to end here now the main big point of this movie the main reason people were going to watch it is the twist now it has a lot of good twists and turns throughout the movie but the final twist is just such an exclamation point it's something so sinister so outside the box something I've never seen done before something I never expected to have happened and what I like the absolute most about it was there was several at least three straight up clues that lead you right into that solution so when you get this finale and you figure out everything that happened there is multiple points where like oh this happened here that happened here that's like I can't believe I didn't put all this together you know what I mean so twist is fantastic it's outside the box I've never seen anything like it I've seen some mystery movies recently where I feel like there was no hint of the mystery and at the last second oh this is this is how it was the whole time and it's like man without those little breadcrumbs to rewatch and be like oh they were letting me know I don't appreciate a reveal like that and I absolutely loved the reveal here that's pretty much where the pros end but I mean what else do you need besides a really really good twist and some really really good acting especially from Jason Bateman really like those two aspects here and the fact that it was so such a good twist really just elevates this and to start them all right guys if I were to come into any cons here now it is a little bit low budget there isn't that many different changes in scenery there isn't that many different people here it's mainly the guy bringing the gifts and then Jason Bateman and his wife and I do got to say for the first 40 minutes of this movie it's a little bit cringy because the same situation happens over and over it's like Jason Bateman and his wife are hanging out the gift guy comes up it's so awkward the whole it's just awkward awkward awkward the couple Jason Bateman and his wife are like yeah it's awkward I wasn't really feeling that and that happens about five different times so it's just like oh he brings the gift oh that was awkward oh he stopped by again like and then it was just like oh my gosh it was just the same thing over and over one thing that bothered me now this is in 2015 so ring cameras were a little bit less popular but they're supposed to be in Los Angeles and people in LA have had cameras up at their houses for years I mean probably since the 90s you know what I mean so the fact that this guy who they are obviously a little bit weirded out by just keeps coming over at random times like he comes over and just puts fish in their pond and then leaves food at the front door like the first time that he would come to my house that I didn't want him to come there I would immediately put up a camera maybe the second time maybe the third time and it was just like I couldn't believe that they didn't have an idea of that or worked around that plot line somehow because he just keeps coming over and it's not like he had good experiences with them they don't really like him the most you know what I mean so but besides that guys besides the low budget and just the repetitive opening I really don't have any other cons of this movie and again it's something that really stuck with me and I've watched a lot of good movies since this movie but there's just something special something unique about this movie that it really sticks with you it really just impresses you and again once you see the twist once you see how diabolical it is and once you see how they left you all the breadcrumbs I just think that in and of itself makes this movie so so good so I would say this movie is an 8.5 out of 10 and I'd say buy try or pass for me if you like good mysteries I will say this one's a buy I loved it definitely check it out the gift in 2015 so anyways guys we're on the road of 50,000 subscribers and I couldn't do without any of you guys I hope you guys are the best having a great day out here hopefully having a great day at home see you all in the next video peace
