Dealing with time travelling

Rating: Null/10 (29 October 2011)

It's Mardi Gras in New Orleans.A ferry carrying hundreds of U.S. Navy sailors and their families explodes, killing over 500 people.Special agent Doug Carlin is sent to investigate the case and it is found out that a domestic terrorist called Carroll Oerstadt is behind the deed.Doug is introduced by FBI surveillance unit a program that uses a space folding technology to look back a little over four days into the past.They follow the last days of a woman called Claire Kuchever, who was murdered a little before the explosion.Doug falls in love with this woman.Soon it looks possible he could go back in time and safe this woman's life.Déjá Vu (2006) is an action sci-fi thriller directed by Tony Scott and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer.The movie was shot in post-Katrina New Orleans.Denzel Washington is the right man to play Doug Carlin.And Paula Patton as Claire is the kind of woman you can imagine Denzel falling for.Val Kilmer is great as Agent Paul Pryzwarra.Jim Caviezel is a pretty scary crook as Oerstadt.Adam Goldberg is superb as Dr. Alexander Denny.Bruce Greenwood is terrific as Agent Jack McCready.Matt Craven is very good as Agent Larry Minuti.Child actress Elle Fanning is seen as Abbey.This movie deals with a topic that fascinates me very much, a possibility to travel through time.And this differs from any other time travel movie.It's an action movie, and the time travel itself doesn't have the biggest role.It's also a romantic movie.It's quite fantastic the love story it portrays here.The man falls for the image of a dead girl, and there is a way to safe her and make her love him.So both the sci-fi part and the love story are something you haven't seen before.There is no chance of this movie giving you a déjá vu.The last scenes on the ferry are quite intense to watch.And that Beach Boys song "Don't Worry Baby" really works.This is a kind of movie, where you shouldn't stop and think: does this make any sense? Is there any logic here? You should just enjoy the ride.
