Film Critiques:

  • Wuchak: **_Whodunnit Southern Gothic with Cate Blanchett_**
  • In a city close to coastal Georgia, a widow (Cate Blanchett) struggles to make ends meet along with her three boys through her psychic skills. When a younger girl goes lacking (Katie Holmes), the authorities ask her for help. Greg Kinnear, Keanu Reeves, Hilary Swank, Giovanni Ribisi, Gary Cole and JK Simmons are all available.
  • “The Reward” (2001) meshes plot components of “Resurrection” (1980) with the setting or tone of “Homicide in Coweta County,” “The Normal’s Daughter” and a little bit “Cape Worry” (1991). You possibly can’t beat the forged and the Southern city ambiance is nice, plus the flawed characters are properly fleshed-out.
  • There are at least 5 prospects of who the wrongdoer is and, with 20 minutes to go, it turns into clear who it’s. Regrettably, it’s simply so cliched and contrived I rolled my eyes, to not point out it ‘steals’ the hope of the viewer. I don’t wish to say extra as a result of I don’t wish to give something away.
  • Nonetheless, when you can roll with that banal ingredient, it’s a high quality drama with a worthy level. Each Cate and Holmes are fetching in a girl-next-door sort of manner.
  • It runs 1 hour, 51 minutes, and was shot within the Savannah space (Guyton, Thunderbolt and Springfield).
  • GRADE: B-/B
