A Good Attempt

Rating: 6/10 (13 June 2007)

"Déjà Vu" makes good use of New Orleans, the city is a character unto itself. The devastation left by Hurricane Katrina in the Ninth Ward is heartbreaking to behold on screen, yet Scott has used the footage in a way that suits the film and not in an exploitative manner.
Washington's always great at this sort of intelligent, diligent, hard-working crusader for good role, and once again he delivers an outstanding performance.
Whatever the reason, questions are left unanswered that might have offered a better understanding of the film's ending.
Good attempt but by far not as good as other Denzel Washington classics, such as "Man on Fire" or "Training Day". 6/10
