Synopsis
Sandra Bullock (CRASH, MISS CONGENIALITY) stars as a housewife troubled by a tragic premonition in Mennan Yapo’s thriller. Linda Hanson’s life revolves around her beloved daughters (Shyann McClure and Courtney Taylor Burness) and her husband, Jim (Julian McMahon, CHARMED). The familiar, picture-perfect terrain of her existence is abruptly shattered when she is informed that Jim has died in a gruesome car accident, and Linda spends the rest of the day in shock. When she awakes the next morning to find Jim calmly eating breakfast in the kitchen, however, she is even more disturbed. As the week progresses, Linda wakes up to find Jim alive again or dead again in an increasingly complex pattern that she struggles to make sense of. Linda realizes she’s in the midst of a premonition and decides she must try to save Jim, but when she finds out he might have been cheating on her, her resolve is seriously tested.
PREMONITION should appeal to fans of Christopher Nolan’s MEMENTO and M. Night Shyamalan's THE SIXTH SENSE, as it too presents an intriguing puzzle for the audience to solve. Despite a few plot holes, the film provides an interesting take on the mutability of time. The notion of a mysterious unknown beneath the mundanity of everyday life is attractive, and the exploration of time as twistable--rather than linear--is fascinating. Nia Long (ALFIE) plays Linda’s best friend, and Amber Valetta (HITCH) plays the other woman in Jim’s life.

Customer Reviews

Thank goodness for Sandra Bullock
If the director, Mr. Yapo, has a thing for Miss Bullock, then this film certainly makes it pretty obvious. I, too, like her a lot which is why, despite the poor reviews, I wanted to watch it. She didn't disappoint but the film itself was a terror!

The move between reality and her 'premonitions' was just too confusing for me. I became annoyed when what I thought was current, turned out to be another day in her dream.

And frankly, at the end, if a car saleman ever drove a car like her husband did, then no wonder she thought he was going to die.

All-in-all, a load of old rubbish - except for Sandra, of course.

Boooooorrrrring
I was hoping for a throught-provoking, deep, psychologicial thriller but what I got was a weak and poorly constructed film. A decent premise but was let down by a lack of suspense and no great insight into why these events were actually occurring. The acting was ok and as a couple Sandra Bullock and Julian McMahon were believable. It was a bit of a 'nothing' film for me, not particularly chilling, deep, disturbing or entertaining. Although I was quite interested in the outcome, it turned out to be highly predictable and cheesy. A pretty average film, and I don't agree with other reviewers saying this film requires the viewer to engage their brains! It's a pretty bog-standard Hollywood film that doesn't tax the brain at all!

Very slow no real story to keep you interested
After a few plays over the same events it is time to get a drink what ever if you miss anything who is worried. It will be on again very soon and it had a very weak end you had already worked out ages before. Shame but not for me.
