Amazon.co.uk Review

In his most effective thriller since Enemy of the State, Tony Scott makes time travel seem plausible. It helps that his New Orleans hero, ATF agent Doug Carlin (Denzel Washington in his third go-round with the director), spends more time in the present than the past. In order to catch a terrorist, FBI Agent Pryzwarra (Val Kilmer) invites Carlin to join forces. They have the technology to see the past. He has the expertise to interpret the data. Unfortunately, the bomb has already gone off and hundreds of ferry passengers have died. Then there's the body of a beautiful woman, Claire Kuchever (Paula Patton, Idlewild), that turns up in the vicinity of the blast. Evidence indicates she was killed beforehand. Since the FBI enables him to observe Claire prior to her murder, Carlin gets to know what she was like and finds himself falling in love. He becomes convinced that the only way to solve the case--and prove her innocence--is to travel to the past. But as Pryzwarra's colleague, Denny (Adam Goldberg), argues, "You cannot go back in time. It's physically impossible." Or so he says. Déjà Vu is constructed around a clever script and executed by a top-notch cast, notably Washington, Patton, and an eerie Jim Caviezel (miles away from Passion of the Christ). In shedding the excesses of recent years--the sadism of Man on Fire and weirdness of Tarantino favorite Domino--Scott re-affirms his rep as one of the action movie's finest practitioners. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Looks like a bit of terrorist hanky panky is about to take place; we get a front row first hand view of the action. The real story starts when one of the apparent victims Claire Kuchever (Paula Patton) washes upon shore an hour too early. This intrigues an ATF Agent Doug Carlin (well acted by Denzel Washington.) During the investigation Doug starts to fall in love with the victim (yes this has happened before in "Laura" with Dana Andrews and Gene Tierney -Déjà Vu.)

The question is will life and technologies allow Doug to make a small correction to future history? Or is this a world of "what will be will be"?

This film has a lot of good explosive action and beautiful people that just can not be replaced by CGI. And don't overlook the acting ability of Val Kilmer.

This film ticks all the right boxes. Denzel & Paula Patton are great. Plot is sublime. A/V quality is excellent. thought provoking. Difficult to pigeon hole. Its an unusual concept kinda sci fi, love story, terrorist movie. It gets 5 stars from me... loved it.

A plot that works with good acting

Denzel Washington clearly picks his scripts well as I have yet to see him in a bad movie.
He delivers again in a plot that has enough twists to keep your attention but not too many to make you wish you'd made notes.
A good story that actually works, in this type of story (I don't want to give too much away) I often have to suspend belief more that I really want, but not this time which made it much more enjoyable.
Good picture and sound quality, I have yet to check out the extras.
Rented this but may buy it to watch again (and again?).

Deja Vue - no I must of watched it several times

This is a good movie (Blu -ray but normal should also be good), and another strong acting part from Denz, which keeps you hooked. Worth buying.

Great Film Great Picture

I am yet to see a Denzel Washington film that wasn't thought provoking and entertaining and this one is no exception.

A clever plot that unfolds and has you scratching your head all the way to the end, with plenty of action. Just be prepared to explain it to whoever you're with when it's finished.

What is also impressive is the picture quality. This is the first Blu Ray disc I have bought for my PS3 / combined with HDTV and it's a big step up from DVD. If this is a sign of things to come, bring it on.
