    This is a silly film that makes no sense what so ever but is easy to watch.
  • August 10, 2009
    Aside from a rapid and hardly satisfying ending, and a little too much hocus-pocus hand-waving when it comes to explaining the ability to travel through time, this is not a bad way to spend an evening. Denzel Washington is his usual solid self, but I'm afraid the trickiness of t...( read more)he script kind of chokes the life out of the actors. Still, I'm always up for stories about time travel, so this is a solid three stars for me.

    an eyes-glued-to-the-screen concept that's totally original and interesting. shame tony scott manages to completely butcher it again! how can the guy direct true romance which is the best film ever made... and then every other one he's been in charge of is a complete mish mash. u...( read more)uuuh, such a waste of a good actor too. denzel is an actor... but so wasted here

    This movie does feel like deja vu because it tries to abandon its really cool concept in favour of a by-the-numbers chase movie.
  • March 12, 2009
    What starts with a bang, as a ferry with 550 people on board gets blown up, turns into a regular investigation thriller for the first thirty minutes. Then a very interesting premise is added, even though it's pure sci-fi: what if you could watch the past like a surveillance cam? ...( read more)What if you could even interfere? The movie doesn't get much deeper into the moral dilemma, not to mention the logic flaws that these kinda films always come with, just like this one too. But the ride is extremely entertaining and exciting, despite of all the logic holes. Actually the kind of exciting that makes you cramp your stomach a little. Really well done. Not deep but a great piece of thriller entertainment.

    DeJavu is an effective sci-fi crime thriller.The story is about an investigation into the explosion of a passenger ferry. There are more than five hundred casualties. When a government agent discovers that it was planned by a bomber, the FBI asks for his help. They ask him to hel...( read more)p identify the culprit using a secret device that can view live images from the past four days. But when the agent uncovers more facts about the case, he becomes emotionally attached to one of the victims. This compels him to not only view the past, but to also intervene in it. The film is intriguing because it deals with time travel in a different way. The device they use has time constraints which means they must act smart and quick. This adds to the story's tension.Denzel Washington plays the government agent. And the film is stylishly directed by Tony Scott.

    Tony Scott is a great action director, but what was he trying to do here with the plot. I thought this would be a realistic film, but it turned into sci-fi with all the time-travelling. The script is so fucking confusing and I didn't know what the hell they were talking about. Ch...( read more)aracter Development was good. I liked how Doug suddenly starts to take a liking to Claire even though she was dead. The way everything links together was good. The action is so awesome. The visuals just look amazing. Explosions are Tony Scott's strong points. He films them really well. The acting is good from Denzel Washington and Paula Patton. This has a really confusing plot and it's really science fiction-ish, but I liked the ending and it's a fun filled action flick.

    It's pretty strange to say it but it sounded plausible enough.. I usually live in the world of fantasy and this was sth different indeed. Recommend it! ;x

Critic Reviews


November 23, 2006
Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal

Pretty dazzling, as action adventures go, even when it's wildly, almost defiantly, implausible. full review

November 22, 2006
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times

The movie's saved by an appealing star, a swift pace and a vivid setting. full review

November 22, 2006
Pete Hammond, Maxim

A hugely entertaining high-octane action suspense thriller. full review

November 21, 2006
Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com

Washington is so casually, inherently likable that he makes wending through the movie's multiple implausibilities easier to bear. full review

November 21, 2006
Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune

Deja vu is French for 'Haven't I seen this somewhere before?' That reaction will be widespread among audiences for Deja Vu. full review

November 19, 2006
Nick Schager, Slant Magazine

Tony Scott doesn't even wait for Deja Vu to properly begin before employing the spastic visual stylings that are his calling card. full review

    Good movie and worth the watch. I wouldn't really pick apart this movie because it deserves some credit. The action was good, there was intensity, drama,and denzel did a great job at convincing the audience. This was similar to the butterfly effect but you know, almost better.

    I thought this movie was fucking legend. The car chases and plot twists i was gripped for the whole movie. Denzel washington was brilliant. This is an eerie plotline which was slightly confusing in places but its director did well. I would watch this over and over. =]
