A thrilling and riveting film that keeps you on the edge of your seat!

Rating: 9/10 (27 April 2007)

I love Denzel Washington and think he is a very good actor. The last time this director and Washington teamed up they made the gritty and violent thriller, "Man on Fire", but this will definitely appeal to a wider audience. Denzel plays an smart and inventive detective who sees things differently from most people. When a terrorist attack is made on a ferry holding over 500 people he is called in to investigate, he is soon recruited to a new investigation team using "cutting edge" technology, but he soon realizes things are not as they seem.
Paula Patton, a relatively unknown actress was so convincing as the victim in this story made you care for her. The plot overall wasn't the most amazing thing, but the acting and characters are what make this so intensely personal. Val Kilmer also appears in this film, but in a very small role. Another actor though who made the movie feel so intense is Jim Caviezal as the insane and insanely "patriotic" terrorist who will let nothing in his way of making his statement to the world.
This movie proves that Jerry Bruckheimer can still pick good movies to produce and even if this film wasn't exactly a blockbuster is was an interesting, intense, and smart thriller that has high flying surprises and top notch acting that will make your jaw drop. Deja-Vu went beyond all expectations.
