What the Critics say

Cape Argus / The Star
Emma Nicholson quote iconThis movie is so somber it's boring, and so complicated it's frustrating
10
Die Burger
Jeanne Hugo quote iconDie ongeloofwaardige verhaal kon veel beter aangepak gewees het.
5
Cape Times
Kevin Crust quote iconDeadly bore from start to finish.

iAfrica.com
Nils van der Linden quote iconPremonition 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 quote iconOne for staunch Bullock fans only.
6
24.com
Alistair Fairweather quote iconFor 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 quote iconUnfortunately, director Mennen Yapo can't prevent his initially intriguing puzzle from lurching sideways into brain-drubbing nonsense.
5
Box Office
Tim Cogshell quote iconAlthough 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 quote iconThe 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 quote iconAlthough aspects of Premonition tantalize, other elements frustrate, and that makes for an uneasy final result.
13
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers quote iconThe real horror here is watching Sandra Bullock drop her big Miss Congeniality smile to A-C-T!
5
ScreenIt
quote iconBoring and limp when it should have been thrilling and building momentum, ''Premonition'' takes a decent idea and all but completely squanders it.

Internet
4915 Netizens quote iconThe 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''.
