It was Good ****(Four Stars

If you are a looking for an action/adventure - Sci Fi movie this holiday season, this is a success.  For this movie was high tech and faced paced, and jam packed with excellent graphics. Some of the best cinematography and editing this season, all of which we should have expected from director Tony Scott.  I admit the Idea was great, an underground government funded high tech time fold with a steady time warp that goes back 4 days and six hours, with a touch of CSI, and a touch of cop drama.  However no matter how intensely they try to explain it -- I'm not sure I buy it. 
The character development was phenomenal, of course starting with Denzel Washington. (who has previously worked with the Director on the hugely successful Man on Fire.)  In this film Denzel played Doug Carlin an ATF agent who truly gets caught up in investigating a terrorist attack and falls in love on the way.  Paula Patton who played the victim Claire Kuchever, and she was simply stunning and genuine. 
Why is it that they have the totally gorgeous James Caviezel play the terrorist Carroll Oerstadt, (Big change from his recent role as Jesus in The Passion of the Christ)  BTW, I loved it when he got teary eyed, wow powerful.  Lastly Val Kilmer, was a bit stand offish  and weak yet believable as Agent Pryzwarra, and is surprisingly still hot in his over weight body. 
Side note -- I would have liked to see them clip back to present day future and see how the future was changed and how they reacted.   I also would have loved to see her explain to him what happened being she didn't have a clue what was going on herself.

Go with an open mind and yes this movie is fun!  Yes this movie is entertaining, but No, it is simply just not believable.   I could however appreciate the focus on New Orleans, and the little touch they gave to hurricane Katrina.  I am also glad they didn't focus on the love story too much, and kept it more action.  Needless to say if you are going to go see this movie I do suggest you see it on the big screen for maximum sensory enjoyment.

deja vu denzel washington movie reviewDeja Vu
Action/Adventure, Romance, Science Fiction/Fantasy and Thriller. Everyone has experienced the unsettling mystery of déjà vu--that flash of memory when you meet someone new you feel you've known all your life or recognize a place even though you've never been there before. But what if the feelings were actually warnings sent from the past or clues to the future? It is déjà vu that unexpectedly guides ATF agent Doug Carlin (Denzel Washington) through an investigation into a shattering crime. Called in to recover evidence after a bomb sets off a cataclysmic explosion on a New Orleans Ferry, Carlin is about to discover that what most people believe "is only in their heads" is actually something far more powerful--and will lead him on a mind-bending race to save hundreds of innocent people. 2 hours, 6 minutes. MPAA Rating: PG-13 (for intense sequences of violence and terror, disturbing images and some sensuality).
