Rating: 8/10 (28 January 2007)

If you want to be entertained with visually stunning action and excitement, catch Déjà vu on the big screen, because that's the best way to view this incredible story from Terry Rossio (same writer of the Pirates of the Caribbean series, Shrek, Zorro). Déjà vu has an interesting premise, and if you allow yourself to believe it then you will have fun.
Tony Scott teams up once more with his fave leading man Denzel Washington, who comfortably fits into the role (although he overacts in one scene in an angry outburst). The rest of the cast is just as pretty: Jim Caviezel marvelously transforms into a credible villain (from playing Jesus Christ in The Passion of the Christ) and he is exceptionally handsome enough for the audience to both fear and be enamored by his sociopathic terrorist turn.
Producer-turned-actress Paula Patton is beautifully exotic, which makes Denzel's decision to save her digestible. Val Kilmer also pulls his own weight, literally, putting on the pounds to amply play a supporting role. Adam Goldberg as stereotypical looking scientist provides welcome comic relief, aptly punctuating tense or boring scenes.
Scott's trademark staccato editing and messy montages, which somehow amazingly doesn't confuse the viewers, was perfectly executed, as always, in this Bruckheimer action spectacular.
