Déjà Vu (2007, DVD)

Movie Description
After the success of 2004's MAN ON FIRE, director Tony Scott and Denzel Washington teamed up once again--this time alongside high-powered producer Jerry Bruckheimer--to deliver this big-budget spectacle of an action picture set in post-Katrina New Orleans. The city is delivered another crushing blow when a ferry explodes, killing over 500 innocent citizens. Only this time, nature wasn't the cause of the tragedy. Enter ATF officer Doug Carlin (Washington), who is recruited by a newly formed FBI unit (headed by Val Kilmer) to help track down the killer (a Timothy McVeigh-esque Jim Caviezel). When a body is found floating in the river, it is determined that the victim was murdered before the ferry blast occurred. Unfortunately, the victim was the impossibly beautiful Claire Kuchever (Paula Patton), whose death has begun to torment Carlin. Adding a new level to the investigation is a top-secret FBI invention, which allows a select group to view the past on screen as if it had been videotaped days earlier. The more Carlin sees of Kuchever, the more connected to her he becomes, until he decides to risk his life by traveling back in time and altering the course of history.


Plausibility isn't the number one reason to watch a Jerry Bruckheimer movie, and DÉJÀ VU is certainly no exception. This time around, however, Bruckheimer wisely recruited Scott and Washington to bring their expertise to the project. The result is another stylish and atmospheric drama/thriller/romance/action-adventure hybrid, which raises interesting questions as it entertains.

    While the plot may not be new the way its delivered is! Tony Scott does a great job of threading a romance, time travel, and action into a creative smart thriller.

    DEJAVU leaves you with a what if question to ponder. We are all aware of what the Government is capable of doing which makes it possible for us to indulge in this unrealistic thriller. Worth watching for the idea alone

    The movie was pretty good and there was a lot of action. I just think there could have been a better story line. The whole idea of the movie was cool.

    When I sat down to watch this I have to admit I wasn't expecting to like it BUT I was very pleasantly surprised! The movie made unrealistic Futuristic Spying devices and events and made them appear possible and believable especially with the outstanding performance from Denzel Washington! Deja Vu eliminated all the fake scientific Hoopla and filler you typically get with time travel and made it like any other awesome detective movie just with some neat new toys!! Bravo to the movie, cast, talent and Storyline!! The Ending was a very nice suspenseful surprise! It's definetly worth a watch! Thanks for reading!

      As With Most Time Travel Movies....
    Review created: 06/13/07

    As With Most Time Travel Movies.... this one had a few rough edges.

    Enough that Tina had trouble figuring out what/why some things were going on.

    Additionally she hated it when the bass went boooom! every time the director wanted to let you know that a serious moment was happening. We sure didn't need that on a DVD at home! Maybe at a movie theater that would work, but it was an annoyance at home!

    Denzel was great as usual, the plot was pretty good, although a little rough when using the time travel aspects.

    The ending was pretty good, didn't leave us hanging.

    Good for a rental movie, and maybe to be viewed twice to get it all!

    The Bonus Feature deleted scenes were definitely scenes that should have been deleted!

    Michael (and Tina)
