exciting and intriguing but too implausible

Rating: 7/10 (27 December 2006)

Intellectually stimulating, although when watching it had the sensation "I've already seen it before". Action wise "Deja Vu" is an average thriller but Tony Scott's energy along with Denzel Washington's excellent performance turn it into something more. There are some plot inconsistencies as well as some violence disturbing scenes but this science fiction movie - that's surely the genre it belongs to though it's not been touted that way - is smart and enjoyable. Jim Caviezel is really surprising as the mad bomber and that's another interesting point. So I could say the film is preposterous but never dull, engaging and surprising.
