How to rip off CSI and The Terminator in 5 easy steps

Rating: 7/10 (28 December 2006)

Had it matched its title just a tad bit more, this movie would have been more believable. When I bought the ticket my mind was somewhat made up that a cop with certain clairvoyance skills would draw a case to a close but man, this time travel thing just gave the movie a wrong twist I can't honestly buy -not to enter the fact that over the first 30 minutes it hints to become a 2-hour-long CSI episode, if one only refers to the electronic incidental music, two guys and a corpse at the morgue, and so on so forth as evidence of my theory, LOL. As a matter of fact, by minute 30 I was already labeling this as "CSI New Orleans".
Interesting that a movie can be led in a logical and plausible sequence to its very end on such weak pretenses, not to say that this doesn't come too far beyond, either, from being a 1984's The Terminator's failed rip-off. Nonetheless, The Terminator succeeds in passing the time traveling thing over a secondary place, which is not a merit of Deja Vu. You have to forcibly suspend your disbelief on this movie's intended time travel method if you want to get this past and not to find yourself wanting your money back. Otherwise, it won't work.
