Teringer An Exercise In Nonsense

Catherina If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Phillida Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

bowmanblue 'Deja Vu' is definitely a film that you haven't felt like you've seen before *boom boom* - it's actually as 'original' as any modern Hollywood film is going to be. And by that I mean it's probably quite similar to a few others, but presented differently enough to make it worth a watch. And, if that's not enough of a recommendation, it has Denzel Washington in it. What more could you want? The ever excellent Denzel plays a cop who has to investigate a domestic terrorism incident where someone blows up a boat full of naval servicemen and their families as it draws into port in New Orleans. However, instead of taking witness statements and making public appeals, he chooses to team up with a shadowy government agency who have invented a machine that can 'look into the past.' However, just because they can peek into the past, doesn't mean they can easily identify the killer. Unfortunately, the machine can only look into the past exactly four and a half days ago – and time is constantly moving forward. Even in the past. Confused? Don't worry. Denzel will explain it better than I can.Although, it is one of those films where you do have to pay attention. It's not one where you can check your Instagram account and wander off for a cup of tea. I'm not going to go into how the plot unfolds, as there's more to it than I've mentioned. If you're slightly put off by the sci-fi element, don't be. It works on many levels. Obviously, there's a strong sci-fi feel to it, but nothing too over-the-top and the machine has a 'real' look to it, like it could really exist in our world. However, it's primarily a cop movie where the good guy has to track down the bad guy. So, hopefully it should appeal to more than just fans of the sci-fi genre. And, obviously, you have Denzel. He'll probably never win any Oscars for his performance here, but it is definitely enough to lift the film to even higher heights.Don't expect wall-to-wall action. This is definitely not a 'Transformers' movie. And it's all the better for it. Get ready to follow closely and see what the future holds for the war on terror. Or should that be the past?

outpix If your going to create a fantastical premise at least make the ordinary plausible. The first half was entertaining but it slowly deteriorates into a nonsensical action farce. There so may holes in the second half of this plot you could drive a truck through it. If you don't care about integrity in a movie than you will enjoy it otherwise move on.

stav_lefler Perhaps it's just Washington's presence, an actor who's always only somewhat serious about himself and about the characters he plays. Anyway, the movie as a whole doesn't seem to take itself too seriously, too. Therefore, in spite of several loopholes and inconsistencies, it provides good fun without getting too heavy or self- important. Points to Scott for that, and let's hope for more entertaining stuff by the Washington-Scott duo. What begins as a seemingly ordinary disaster film turns into a geek-pseudo-sci-fi high-action and even slightly romantic drama. When moving through time is introduced, it is done organically and, again, the movie doesn't make too much of a big deal about it, and - thank the gods - doesn't try to over-explain it. It remains, above all, a good show that's fun to watch.

vincentlynch-moonoi I'm not a big fan of science fiction, but every once in a while a sci-film will come along that I do like (and this is one). The problem for me with most sci-fi is how far can the director push the viewer to suspend belief before the viewer says, "Wait a minute. This is getting absurd."? That is, perhaps, even more true when the sci-fi topic is time travel...which this sort of is. For me, this story did not push me past that point of being comfortable with suspending belief.I'm not going to outline the plot of the film here. Many others...and many other sources...do that. I want to concentrate on a few of the actors and their performances.Denzel Washington, as an ATF Special Agent, turns in a solid performance, as he almost always does. He helps hold the line on suspending belief.Paula Patton -- an actress I'm not very familiar with -- is excellent as the victim turned hero.Jim Caviezel turns in a wonderful performance as the terrorist.Val Kilmer -- looking quite rotund (but once one of my favorites) is rather bland as an FBI Special Agent.Adam Goldberg, another actor I'm not too familiar with, is superb as a scientist.I highly recommend this film...and I think you'll like the plot twist at the end!
