PREMONITION Send This Review to a Friend
Now she sees him. Now she doesn’t. One day Linda (Sandra Bullock) is told her husband Jim (Julian McMahon) has been killed in a car accident. The next day she sees him at breakfast. Then he’s gone again. What gives? Is it a dream? Is it a premonition? The one sure thing is that the film is a turkey. It looks as if not even director Mennan Yapo and screenwriter Bill Kelly know what’s going on.
I had a premonition about “Premonition” when I read the description. It looked nonsensical, and that’s how it turned out. Not only silly, it’s also a jumble. There isn’t an iota of a reason to care about what the truth is with respect to the dramatic mess or about poor Linda.
Bullock goes through the motions of a wife-widow in despair. There are the children. There is her mother, played by Kate Nelligan. There’s a mysterious psychiatrist. There’s another woman who is tempting Jim.
The film has a highway crash and a funeral. But it is “Premonition” itself that needs the burial. A Metro Goldwyn Mayer, Hyde Park Entertainment and TriStar Pictures release.
