From now on, whenever I see an AWeSoME Movie I'll be having myself a 'Deja Vu'!

Rating: 9/10 (24 February 2007)

'Deja vu' has more class to itself as to use its title word 'Deja vu' in the entire movie, especially at the very end, where you'd realize just why it was called 'Deja vu' AND NOT by anyone's words, by the shear MAGNIFICANCE of Denzel Washington's tremendous solid acting.
'Deja vu' can be classified as a Sci-Fi/Action movie, yet it's a Thriller like no other. Right when you'd think you've figured out where the movie is leading, it shows you, you're wrong. 'Deja vu' is a Thriller, while it contains significant messages of human dignity, value and of sacrifice & patriotism. Therefore, I'd say that 'Deja vu' has it all, including my rating of it as 9/10. Few movies work well across all these genres and that's what makes this awesome movie stand out.
The Sci-fi might seem at some points in the movie, too advanced for our times, but given the fresh ideas offered in that theme, it adds extra delight to the captivating events on screen.
It's really interesting & relevant to have a movie like this be produced after Hurricane Katrina occurred, in New Orleans, because of how this movie & the role of 'Doug Carlin' sacrifices himself & proves how sacrifice is an essence of patriotism. That's a lesson I believe Katrina proved to us too.
Denzel Washington, as always, takes this storyline where it should be lead & he carries a lot of it all by himself. Paula Patton does a really good job too playing the role of 'Claire Kuchever' & all the scenarios that she goes through. I was surprised at how sensible 'Adam Goldberg' appeared since I'd mostly seen him in only comedies before. Overall a good cast & excellent art direction for this movie, result in 128 minutes of a compelling thriller, with no faults to be mentioned at all at the end of it. From now on I'm thinking whenever I see an AWeSoME Movie, I'll be having myself a 'Deja Vu'! (A Deja Vu to this movie, if you know what I mean!)
