A Mesmerizing Performance By Christopher Walken!!!
This movie is one of a handful of Stephen King stories which translates well on the screen thanks mainly to a wonderful performace by Christopher Walken who is one of my favourite actors. Mr. Walken plays Johnny Smith , a teacher who has a bad car accident while driving home after a date with his girlfriend. Johhny then spends the next 5 years in a coma and awakes to fimnd a new world and his girlfriend hs moved on with her life and has marrid somebody else. However Johnny now finds himself Blessed (or Cursed depending on how you look at it) with the gift of Premonition.Johnny soon becomes a celebrity but all he wants to do is be left alone and pick up the pieces of his lost life.This movis does not contain the standrad Stephen King Horor but is wonderful to watch as Johnnny tries to rebuild his life. Bravo Mr. Walken!!!
