Amazon.com:
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

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Disappointing "science/fiction" thriller
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 ...

Rating: - Time Travel/Action film with some inconsistencies
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.

Rating: - Compelling, yet contrived
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, ... Read More
Rating: - Hard to believe but good film.
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.
Rating:  - By the numbers - predictable
I'd sum up the experience of seeing this mediocre film as: predictable, you have seen it all before, and it's a thin story idea. The actors had all of the correct facial expressions at all times, to match the dialogue - hopefully they weren't paid too much for doing this. That's about it. (A friend lent this to me, so I'm glad I didn't buy it.)
