The GIFT-A Psycho/Thriller with Justin Bateman & Australian Dir/Actor Joel Edgerton

Dir. Joel Edgerton directs & stars in this chilling, creepy, cat/mouse, couple's counseling thriller.  Edgerton plays Gordon or as Bateman (Simon) refers to him as weirdo Gordo.  Simon is married to Robyn (Rebecca Hal, IRON MAN 3l.)  Simon & Robyn have just relocated to LA where they encounter Gordon.  Gordon introduces himself to Simon as his old grade school classmate whom Simon doesn't seem to recall.  The film is shot in LA and your LAH LAH karmic film it's not.  It's a mysterious mixture of suspense, terror, tormentor/tormented, relationship vetted picture that's mesmerizing and surprising.  Whose the real culprit?  Who is disingenuous and whose behavior is heinous?  The cast is 1st rate, especially Bateman who proves his acting has broad appeal.  Edgerton's direction is paced with mounting tension and intrigue.  As Gordon, his performance is both sinister and sympathetic.  This movie may not have broad appeal.  It's annoying, frightening factors should eliminate the faint of heart.  But, the twist & turns & credible cunning in The GIFT is a present worth opening.  The wink to Rosemary Baby's is eerie.  Oh, was that a buzz kill?  Perhaps for the meek but for not for those who seek a unique psycho/thriller suspense film that delivers.
