The acting is perfectly fine, and everyone, especially the two kids, manages to rise above the sub-par script, but unfortunately, not that much.

Consensus: Overdosing on flashbacks, and more portentous than profound, the overly obtuse Premonition weakly echoes such twisty classics as Memento, The Sixth Sense, and Groundhog Day.

Unfortunately, not even Sandra Bullock's ability to make us almost forget the ridiculous plot forced upon her can save 'Premonition.'

If you're into smartly made movies, avoid Premonition at all costs.
03/16/07
Premonition is just an incredible mess from start to finish, filled with so many logical inconsistencies, it's practically impossible for the audience to sustain the necessary suspension of disbelief for long.
03/16/07
Confusing, convoluted and yet gripping and emotional almost in spite of itself Premonition is the first movie Sandra Bullock has successfully 'carried' in years.
03/16/07
The script could have used some analysis itself. After proceeding for an hour in its fairly obvious supernatural path, suddenly the movie decides to get religious.
03/16/07
The sloppy, absent-minded Premonition is a step back in time and a giant leap backward for Sandra Bullock.
03/16/07
Top CriticHitchcock would have had a wonderful time with this.
03/16/07
As Premonition slowly creeps toward a ridiculous faith-based climax or two, you may feel compelled to take a nap yourself. When you awake, it may all seem like a bad dream -- but why is your wallet missing $11? Scary.
03/16/07
Premonition is an odd little thing, with a protagonist in a protracted fugue state and a plot that doesn't know whether its coming or going.
03/16/07
Bring on those Razzie nominations.
03/16/07
At least all this uncertainty is leading up to a spectacular twist ending -- oh, wait. No, it's not.
03/16/07
Our sympathies gradually shift from feeling sorry for the character and her dilemma to feeling sorry for this appealing actress, swimming against the current in murky waters.
03/16/07
I have a premonition you won't give a damn. I sure as hell didn't.
03/16/07
Premonition is a thriller almost completely without thrills, with a puzzler that raises questions it never bothers to answer.
03/16/07
Premonition is a thriller with a major gimmick, a few moments of suspense and a profoundly unsatisfying ending. As such, it plays much like a C-grade cable thriller.
03/16/07
The psychological thriller Premonition is neither as beguiling as you might hope nor as moronic as you might fear, floating comfortably in that gray, maybe-we-can-get-it-from-Netflix territory.
03/16/07
Not exactly a thriller, never quite a chiller, hardly suspenseful, it is, at best, a Sandra Bullock vehicle made of vanishing vapors.
03/16/07
Though smarter than your average, inexplicable supernatural happening, and despite ticking every box on the fears-of-women exploitation checklist, Premonition almost never grabs or shakes.
03/16/07
The convoluted setup doesn't produce a payoff worthy of the attention this film demands.
