This film is a cross between the movie Jacob Ladder and Groundhog Day. More of a metaphysical musing than a supernatural thriller this movie gives the viewers. It have nice dark and gloomy atmosphere, interesting and involving story, and Sandra Bullock, playing her usual dark and moody character. It also has an ending that leaves you scratching your head.
The plot of this movie is pieced together like a jigsaw puzzle, sort of like Jacob Ladder. Our main character, Linda is similar to the character in Jacob Ladder who have to sort through bits and pieces of his memories to find out what is happening to him. Unlike Jacob Ladder, where the viewers are able to find "closure" along with the main character at the end of the film, in Premonition, the viewers are left with just one word: "Huh?". In short, there is no ending to Premonition, the movie just ended and the audience is left out in the cold. I have a feeling the director can't come up with an ending so he is leaving it up to us to figure it out. Otherwise, Sandra Bullock did a good job playing a woman of quiet despair, The local is nondescript but functional, and the pacing of the story is bit on the slow side. Until the director comes up with an better ending this film will feels like it is unfinished.
