What the Critics say | ||
Cape Argus / The Star Emma Nicholson This movie is so somber it's boring, and so complicated it's frustrating | 10 | |
Die Burger Jeanne Hugo Die ongeloofwaardige verhaal kon veel beter aangepak gewees het. | 5 | |
Cape Times Kevin Crust Deadly bore from start to finish. | 1 | |
iAfrica.com Nils van der Linden Premonition goes round and round in circles — so ponderously that you're not even left dizzy. Just dazed. | 5 | |
Mail & Guardian Shaun de Waal | 6 | |
The Citizen Bruce Dennill One for staunch Bullock fans only. | 6 | |
24.com Alistair Fairweather For all its gloomy good looks and apparent sincerity, Premonition is hollow to the core — a movie built on lame parlour tricks and cheap shocks. | 5 | |
BBC Paul Arendt Unfortunately, director Mennen Yapo can't prevent his initially intriguing puzzle from lurching sideways into brain-drubbing nonsense. | 5 | |
Box Office Tim Cogshell Although it fancies itself a taut psychological thriller, Premonition, even with a running time of well less than two hours, is anything but taut and ultimately isn’t much of a thriller either. | 3 | |
eye Weekly Adam Nayman The title hints at ESP, but Premonition is best taken as an extended PSA — about the dangers of talking on a cell phone while driving. | 5 | |
ReelViews James Berardinelli Although aspects of Premonition tantalize, other elements frustrate, and that makes for an uneasy final result. | 13 | |
Rolling Stone Peter Travers The real horror here is watching Sandra Bullock drop her big Miss Congeniality smile to A-C-T! | 5 | |
ScreenIt Boring and limp when it should have been thrilling and building momentum, ''Premonition'' takes a decent idea and all but completely squanders it. | 7 | |

Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer An overly obtuse potboiler that borrows from other mind-bending thrillers. | 2 | |

Internet 4915 Netizens The story just had some flaws that I couldn't get by, it was just an average thriller that you could figure out in the first hour if you are used to the ''suspense thrillers''. | 11 | |
