Amazon.co.uk Review
In his most effective thriller since Enemy of the State, Tony Scott makes time travel seem plausible. It helps that his New Orleans hero, ATF agent Doug Carlin (Denzel Washington in his third go-round with the director), spends more time in the present than the past. In order to catch a terrorist, FBI Agent Pryzwarra (Val Kilmer) invites Carlin to join forces. They have the technology to see the past. He has the expertise to interpret the data. Unfortunately, the bomb has already gone off and hundreds of ferry passengers have died. Then there's the body of a beautiful woman, Claire Kuchever (Paula Patton, Idlewild), that turns up in the vicinity of the blast. Evidence indicates she was killed beforehand. Since the FBI enables him to observe Claire prior to her murder, Carlin gets to know what she was like and finds himself falling in love. He becomes convinced that the only way to solve the case--and prove her innocence--is to travel to the past. But as Pryzwarra's colleague, Denny (Adam Goldberg), argues, "You cannot go back in time. It's physically impossible." Or so he says. Déjà Vu is constructed around a clever script and executed by a top-notch cast, notably Washington, Patton, and an eerie Jim Caviezel (miles away from Passion of the Christ). In shedding the excesses of recent years--the sadism of Man on Fire and weirdness of Tarantino favorite Domino--Scott re-affirms his rep as one of the action movie's finest practitioners. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Synopsis
When a New Orleans ferry carrying 500 passengers is destroyed by a bomb, Doug Carling; a newly-recruited FBI agent is drafted in to track down the perpetrator. 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 travelling back in time and altering the course of history.

3.0 out of 5 stars A genuinely interesting take on the time travel story that sells out its ending, 13 Dec 2007
This could have been a great film. Its take on time travel, which for the majority of the film is predicated on the idea of inevitability, the impossibility of altering a person's story, is fresh and vividly portrayed. The film excites visually as well as intellectually. Scott's direction is beautifully measured and Washington delivers another great everyman performance. It even has some truly innovative set pieces, especially a car chase sequence that takes place simultaneously in different times. And then all of this is thrown away on a Hollywood ending that destroys the logic the film has worked so hard to establish, and without that logic, the whole thing is meaningless.

There are still some good reasons to see this movie, but it is a real pity that Scott et al did not have the courage of their convictions and deliver a time travel picture where the protagonists are unable to manipulate themselves a better present and future and a happier ending.

4.0 out of 5 stars Really good, 22 Sep 2007
I had really fancied this film after seeing the trailer and using my rental service, i watched it. It was really well directed, the camera work was excellent. For once the story was the strongest point and that makes a lot of difference.

Acting was brilliant, top notch performance from Denzel Washington. The whole thing is just excellent. However it is very confusing, so if you have a low attention span later in the evening then watch this one earlier on because it is an excellent movie.

4.0 out of 5 stars Why is far-fetched a bad thing?!!, 4 Sep 2007
Ok, so the film might be far-fetched. But can people please stop criticising it for this reason? Believe it or not, most of the films you watch are in fact FICTION. If you want to watch a load of depressing trash based on true stories, then i recommend the news. If you want to watch some more "realistic" fiction, perhaps read the back of the box before you watch it. This is an enjoyable film and great escapism. It isn't supposed to be realistic. The sooner people realise that the better.
