Entertaining throughout and Unpredictable

Rating: 9/10 (17 January 2017)

Deja Vu starring Denzel Washington as a federal agent looking for clues in the aftermath of a bombing. Washington is convinced that one victim (Paula Patton) is linked to the villain, but he's not sure how. Washington's character is invited to become part of a new investigative team (along with Val Kilmer) that uses experimental technology. As he attempts to solve a crime, our protagonist ends up falling for and stumbles across an unusual solution to finding a killer. The film is well written, and has a lot of material that we rarely see in such high profile blockbuster films in this day and age.
Throughout the film, it is quite fairly biblical in its themes of redemption and resurrection. The story is a stretch, to be sure, but the storytelling is crisp and engaging. What makes Deja Vu a great popcorn film, is not only the acting from Denzel, but the overall storytelling of the film. It is entertaining throughout, there are many hidden clues and most importantly the film us unpredictable.
