The Blu-ray release of Deja Vu has become my favorite DVD in my collection. I won't discuss the movie itself, but the "Surveillance Window" in the Special Features. This is combination director's/writer's commentary combined with seamless "how we did this" vignettes. I would get this before any other Blu-ray purchase.

I was expecting a lot more from Tony Scott and this "science/fiction" movie. I really enjoy Denzel Washington, but this plot was just too confusing and implausible. I had to watch it a few times to try to "make it fit," but I still didn't understand the ending. Too many things just didn't make sense. Although the acting was fine and the premise had great possibilities, the screenwriter couldn't quite put it all together. It wasn't a very good job of either "science" or "fiction." Don't bother to watch this unless you're just dying to see Denzel in another movie.

This movie has two things I like in movies: Denzel Washington and time travel. I figured it wasn't a can't miss. Indeed, the movie itself is quite entertaining. Denzel plays an ATF (Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms) officer who is brought into to help investigate a bombing. He is introduced to some very high tech government surveillance which turns out to be a bit of a time-warp/travel mechanism. Needless to say, high jinx ensue and everyone has a good time.
This movie would have received a 4 out of 5 rating but the time travel elements bothered me. They just didn't work. They even tried to go over time travel theories in the movie, including the parallel universe theory first introduced to me in Back to the Future. Back to the Future had it down to a science, but I think this movie gets it wrong. When Denzel starts investigating the case, he comes across clues that are there only because he has already altered the past. But these clues should only appear in the parallel universe in which the past is altered. This may have been plausible if they stuck with the "non-parallel universe" theory, but it didn't work because eventually they do stop the bombing (not a big giveaway), which diverges from the non-parallel universe. To put it in Back to the Future terms, it would be like Marty was living in the altered 1985 in which he had confident, capable parents before he went back to 1955 to take the actions that caused them to be confident and capable people.
But still some pretty good entertainment. A little violent though.

Denzel Washington makes his third go around with director Tony Scott with Deja Vu; a modern day sci-fi thriller that re-affirms Scott's skill as a director after the disappointing Man on Fire and Domino. Washington stars as an ATF agent investigating the bombing of a ferry, and discovers a victim (the gorgeous Paula Patton) that shouldn't be there. Soon he discovers a method of looking back into the past when he is recruited by an FBI handler (Val Kilmer), and begins to have feelings for the woman, so much so that he contemplates going back in time and saving her life. The time travel element could have felt hokey, but it manages to work surprisingly well here, and Scott's visual flair only helps. What hurts Deja Vu is that it's pretty predictable. Some of the twists, well, just aren't all that twisty. Not to mention that when looking at Deja Vu as a pure action movie, it just meanders quite a bit. However, much of Deja Vu is compelling, and Washington is great as always, and there's solid turns from Kilmer, Patton, Adam Goldberg, and Jim Caviezel to boot. All in all, Deja Vu is certainly worth a look at the very least, but the end result just doesn't live up to it's potential.

Deja Vu starring Denzel Washington is an effective film even though this plot could never happen in real life. The supporting cast makes this film worth watching, James Caviezel and Val Kilmer are excellent in their very different roles. This film deals with the effects of time travel, this aint no Back to the Future but this film is grossly engaging.
