  WSR Narrative Review
Story Synopsis:
When Linda Hanson (Bullock) receives the devastating news that her husband Jim (McMahon) has been killed in an auto accident, her perfect world is turned upside down. Inconsolable, Linda is beyond confused when she wakes up the next morning and finds Jim sipping coffee in the family kitchen. As her days become caught between Jim being alive and Jim being dead, Linda decides that she must act quickly before her Premonition of his upcoming death becomes a reality. (Tricia Spears)

DVD Picture:
The anamorphically enhanced 2.40:1 DVD exhibits a pleasing picture with nicely saturated colors and good resolution. There are scenes, however, that can look overly soft. Fleshtones are rendered well, contrast is solid, and black levels are deep, but the image can still have a flat look at times. Edge enhancement is not overly problematic, and compression artifacts are rarely seen. (Danny Richelieu)

Soundtrack:
The Dolby
