The UK newspaper Guardian has said this of Aussie actor and director Joel Edgerton's new film The Gift : "One of the moment’s men to watch is Australian actor Joel Edgerton. After writing last year’s Ozpocalypse thriller The Rover, he writes and stars in this feature-directing debut.". Oher reviews :
"The Gift Lives Up to the Term 'Psychological Thriller' while the respected websie Rotten Tomatoes says :"Just when we think we know where The Gift is going, we're surprised. And then surprised again.".
And the US box office looks like agreeing with Edgerton's $5M flick taking well over $12M on it's opening weekend. Not bad for the ex-Bondi boy and Whisper's pal. Below is a clip
