Stroncatino da critica e pubblico, ho personalmente trovato
Premonition un lavoro piuttosto dignitoso.
Intendiamoci: del capolavoro (o anche solo dell'ottimo film) non ha neanche l'odore, ma se questo fosse brutto cinema ci sarebbe da baciarsi i gomiti.
Simpatico martino esce di casa per una trasferta di lavoro, mentre la simpatica mogliettina accompagna le bambine a scuola e torna a casa per le faccende domestiche. Verrà interrotta da un poliziotto, che le comunica una tragica notizia: il suddetto sposo è morto in un incidente stradale.
Tragedia e disperazione, il mattino dopo si sveglia e... trova il marituccio in cucina.
Il giorno dopo, di nuovo non c'è più.
Inizia così una serie di salti tra il prima ed il dopo l'incidente, che porteranno la protagonista sull'orlo della follia, mentre raccoglierà indizi su alcuni aspetti a lei ignoti della vita del coniuge.
Si ritroverà infine a dover scegliere se lasciare che gli eventi accadano nel modo a lei noto, o cercare di indirizzarli in maniera diversa.
Ovviamente non svelo il finale, ma dico solo che è stata fatta una
ottima scelta tra le possibili alternative.
Il film comunque, pur nella sua relativa semplicità, cattura man mano che i singoli pezzi si incastreranno, e lo spettatore avrà sufficienti indizi per dare libero sfogo alle proprie congetture.
Buoni, nei propri ruoli, sia
Sandra Bullock che
Julian McMahon; più che decoroso il
regista (che pur eccede con qualche effettino stylish).
Intendiamoci, non raggiunge le vette geniali di
Memento o di
Ricomincio da Capo, ma risulta interessante dall'inizio alla fine.
Ah, imperdibile il
poster più meraviglioso della storia (e dal vivo rendeva molto di più).

Ultimi lavori: Biografia:Born in a Virginia suburb of Washington, DC, to a German opera singer and a voice teacher, Sandra Bullock grew up on the road with her parents and younger sister. She often performed in the children's chorus of whatever production her mother was in. That singing talent later came in handy for her role as an aspiring country singer in The Thing Called Love (1993). Her family moved back to the Washington area when she was a teenager. She later enrolled in E. Carolina University in North Carolina, where she studied acting. Shortly afterward she moved to New York to pursue a career on the stage. This led to acting in television programs and then feature films. She gave memorable performances in Demolition Man (1993) and Wrestling Ernest Hemingway (1993), but did not achieve the stardom that seemed inevitable for her until her work in the smash hit Speed (1994/I). She now ranks as one of the most popular actresses in Hollywood.
Trivia random: Voted "Most Likely To Brighten Up Your Day" by her high school class.
Citazione random: Why do you need one? I don't understand why there needs to be a love interest to make women go see a film. I think society sort of makes us feel that way - that if you don't have a guy, you're worthless.

He is a fan of baseball, football and basketball, and he collects classic books.
Trivia random: Was once quoted in an Australian magazine article as saying that acting was just another job to bring in money.
Citazione random: "I always look back on Home & Away with fondness, especially when I'm in the UK. But I had no idea what I was doing back then. I just fell into acting. It was only later that I became passionate about it."

Cast:Trama:Memento chronicles two separate stories of Leonard, an ex-insurance investigator who can no longer build new memories, as he attempts to find the murderer of his wife, which is the last thing he remembers. One story line movies forward in time while the other tells the story backwards revealing more each time.
Trivia random: EASTER EGG: in the Limited Edition DVD (and in the standard Region 2 edition) allows the movie to be watched in the exact chronological order of the events in the film. The first couple scenes of the regular cut of the movie appear normal in this version, meaning they are not reversed. However, this version of the movie is on Disc 2, is quite difficult to reach (the user must answer several questions and solve a puzzle), and forward, reverse and chapter skip capabilities are disabled.
Citazione random: Leonard Shelby: I have this condition.
