Movie Reviews of Deja Vu [Blu-ray]

Movie Review: Compelling, yet contrived
Summary: 3 Stars

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.

Summary of Deja Vu [Blu-ray]

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. D?j? 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
TouchStone Deja Vu (Blu-ray)
Academy Award (R) winner Denzel Washington (Best Actor, "Training Day," 2001) joins forces with blockbuster producer Jerry Bruckheimer and mega-hit director Tony Scott for "Deja Vu" - the powerful, fast-paced action-thriller with a spectacular mind-bending twist. Called in to recover evidence in the aftermath of a horrific explosion on a New Orleans ferry, Federal agent Doug Carlin (Washington) gets pulled away from the scene and taken to a top-secret government lab that uses a time-shifting surveillance device to help prevent crime. But can it help Carlin change the past? Hold on to your seat for an explosive and intriguing thrill ride you'll want to experience again and again.
