Premonition is Sandra Bullock’s second leap into the topsy-turvy world of movie time-bending within the last 12 months. While The Lake House saw her striving to make sense of a long-distance (of sorts) relationship with Keanu Reeves, this immediately forces Bullock’s housewife Linda into a miasma of confusion, as her husband displays an ability to die one day and appear alive the next.
The film’s tension-building falters, however, as the plot rushes into a wholly unsatisfying third act. Even the appearance of a convenient priest to recite the history of premonitions can’t make us care when Linda returns to the dulling greys and greens of her suburban existence to incomprehensibly Work Things Out.
