Deja vu: predictable

Rating: 6/10 (30 April 2007)

This film was too long, like 30 minutes too long. The story line wasn't very impressive or original but the cast managed to pull it off, specially Denzel Washington (DW) and Val Kilmer.
The romantic part of the film and DW's infatuation with the girl (and vice versa) seemed forced and artificial but I guess it was necessary seeing how things developed in the second half. I won't even comment on the absurdity surrounding all the "watching the past 4 days after it happens" thing and the time travel.
Scenery and photography are flawless.
Some parts of the dialogue are witty and make fun out of some worn out clichés, eg the scene when DW asks who is in charge of the investigation and then asks about the coffee pot. Priceless.
It's nothing new or groundbreaking but it's entertaining so if your expectations aren't too high it's worth watching.
