Sophisticated thriller with a tad too many explosions.

Rating: 7/10 (3 October 2013)

Massive fan of time travel stories and films, and also a fan of Denzel so it seemed a good choice to watch Deja Vu.
A ship containing a load of navy officers and their families is blown up and AFT agent Denzel Washington arrives on the scene to investigate. He soon gets mixed up with a special crime investigation unit who claim to use some kind of mechanism to look back in time. As it turns out there's a little bit more to it than that, and Denzel finds himself falling for one of the female victims of the disaster.
I don't want to spoil the plot too much but it's the kind of film you need to watch twice to get the full low-down on the plot, I do need to go back and watch it when I get the chance. Also look out for Jim Cazviezel, he also starred in Frequency - another great time travel film which might just be a tad better than Deja Vu.
In some parts it is a sophisticated thriller, whereas in others it ends up being a tad OTT - lots of explosions, classic Bruckheimer style. But don't let that take it away from it.
Val Kilmer is also in this, although he is wasted really - he gets a lot of screen time but his character does little to help the story. But there we go.
Also, for those who have seen it - what about that ending, ey?
