The premonition
This is what Idylle looks like in the movie: a beautiful wooden house with a garden, two charming daughters, a radiant mother, a loving father. To be too good to be true. Is not true, after all, it is "The premonition" yes a mystery thriller. And his screenplay does not like the supposedly happy Linda Hanson (Sandra Bullock). Suddenly this policeman shows up and tells Linda that her husband Jim (Julian McMahon) died in a car accident. The next day the shock is even bigger. When Linda comes to the kitchen, there is a lively Jim and drinks his coffee. Was that just a bad dream? On the other hand speaks that the day after tomorrow not Jim in the kitchen, but the entire mourning community for his funeral ...
Jim is dead - Jim is alive - Jim is dead - Jim is alive: Linda Hanson does not look through anymore. Desperately she tries to give the madness method. She begins to write down everything she remembers - for which one can only be grateful to her as a spectator for one's own orientation.
One could now start to question the whole construct of the film. With the result that one would very quickly encounter logic holes in the "premonition". The real problem of the movie is somewhere else. Like many other thrillers, "The Foreshadowing" offers an exciting starting point, but fails to resolve it. Mennan Yapo, German director of Turkish descent, has committed himself completely to the Hollywood rules in his US debut or prescribe. So there is a resolution that does not hurt anyone, but is garnished with plenty of morality. In the end it quickly becomes forgotten that you have actually experienced quite exciting first 45 minutes - and a Sandra Bullock, who shows one of her better acting performances here.
You might like this movie if you liked "Memento" or "The Sixth Sense".
