A depressed housewife who learns her husband was killed in a car accident the day previously, awakens the next morning to find him alive and well at home, and then awakens the day after to a world in which he is still dead.
Confusing, convoluted and yet gripping and emotional almost in spite of itself Premonition is the first movie Sandra Bullock has successfully 'carried' in years.

So there you have it: go to church, keep your husband's gaze averted from stray blondes, try not to think about the future, and all shall be well.

I just returned from the immediate future, like two minutes from now, and I have a strong feeling I'm about to give this movie a big thumbs down.

Premonition barely remembers to create suspense.

Had it been easier to comprehend at the beginning, there's no telling how bad Premonition might have been.
