Premonition (I) (2007)
7/10
Puzzle of the Time
17 December 2007
The middle-class couple Linda Hanson (Sandra Bullock) and Jim Hanson (Julian McMahon) lives a wasted and routine relationship with their two daughters in their comfortable house in the suburbs. On a Wednesday morning, the local sheriff visits Linda and tells her that her husband died in a car accident on the previous day. On the next morning, when Linda awakes, she finds Jim safe and sound at home. When she awakes on the next morning, she realizes that her days are out of order, but her family and friends believe she is insane.

"Premonition" is an enjoyable movie of romance, drama and mystery, with an original but flawed screenplay and good performances. The story gives at least two positive messages: live each day of your life at its utmost since it is not possible to control time and the future; and also a message of hope in the end. I only do not understand how the crew, director, editor, producers, anybody related to the production and edition of this film does not fix the plot holes, especially the one related to the unnecessary cuts on Bridgette's face. The Brazilian DVD distributed by Paris Filmes shamefully inserts an advertisement of a computer company over the credits, in a total disrespect with the viewer. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "Premonições" ("Premonitions")
