When I first saw the trailers for this movie, I thought it looked fairly interesting. But I never went to the cinema to see it and didn't even know it was out on DVD until a friend of mine asked if I had watched it. She wanted me to settle a bet between her and her husband. That was weeks ago, and since then, everyone I know (practically) has asked me if I had watched this movie. I finally decided that it must be good, if everyone had seen it. So last night, I watched it.
"Premonition" is a movie about a woman who lives the worst week of her life out of sequence. It starts on Wednesday, when she receives the news her husband has died. Every time she goes to sleep, it's a different day. Sometimes, her husband is dead, sometimes alive. Each time, she gets a clue for the next day. It's a riveting, pyschological movie, not quite a thriller, but still quite interesting. The twists and turns of the plot keep you very intent on the story, you'll have to concentrate on this movie so you don't miss a thing.
I don't want to give too much away for the small minority of people who haven't watched this yet. So, pardon me if the review is a bit spare. I haven't yet mastered the art of plot synopsis, without giving away the ending.
My only problem with the movie was Sandra Bullock. I like her, like most of her movies. But in this one, I just couldn't get past the "it's Sandra Bullock playing X" issue. I like when actors disappear into their roles and she just didn't do that this time.
OVERALL RATING - I WANT 0 HOURS BACK

I liked the movie. It was one that you definitely have to pay attention to it so you know what what's going on. I wouldn't buy it to add to my collection, but it was a good movie.

That's what I thought. It was OK, but not spectacular.
