Brief synopsis -
Lanie Kerrigan (Angelina Jolie) is an upwardly mobile, career-focused Seattle television reporter with her eye on a network assignment. She has the perfect boyfriend, the perfect apartment and the perfect bleached-blond hair. In fact, she thinks her life is perfect. Until she interviews a homeless street prophet (Tony Shalhoub) who predicts that she will die next week. Following the realisement of a few of the street psychic’s other predictions, Lanie begins to take a long hard look at her life. Her long-time disapproving co-worker cameraman, Pete (Ed Burns), comforts the fast psychologically deteriorating woman and begins to uncover the admirable and vulnerable woman beneath. She progressively reorganises her priorities and breaks down to the point of becoming drunk and producing a report on the side of a group of protestors - an insane act that actually prospers ! She has been offered the job the prophet said she would not get - but she has not started the job yet. It is “death day” and she must take a flight to the new city, which she survives. She walks out in front of a bus, which does not hit her. She ends up in hospital in intensive care, but still not dead. This brush with death has not killed her, merely a part of her. She has become less repressed and loosened up her attitude - much to the benefit of everyone around her.
