Deja vu the concept does you in because it doesn't answer to you but instead beckons and then has its own rules. You know that feeling one gets where they have some familiarity about a situation or person? We shrug it off or take note that it is beyond our understanding to process thus we call it Deja vu alluding to the supernatural. That's really all we can do however in this movie, they go beyond that. A plot twist and hook that never misses is the concept of time travel. It plays very nicely with your head and when being discussed, there are no wrong answers only one mystery after another, plenty of aha moments together with how can that be? This movie and its characters captures that quite well. Good intensity levels here and I was impressed with the directing and explosions which become integral to the plot. After scratching your head a few times afterwards and of course discussing this with someone else, one has to wonder what happened after the movie ends and who really knows what happened within the movie. A sequel wouldn't have hurt at all and as we all know, many time travel-movies proved a success if they respected the concept. This movie did. As usual, Denzel is a delight to watch as is Val Kilmer. Popcorn would compliment this movie along with a tasty drink. If you decide to eat, try a hamburger and fries as one of the characters really chomps down on one making you wish for one. Why wish? Get one! Enjoy with a friend so as to share the many scenarios that flood the mind all pleasurable I might add. Deja vu waits for you!

Perhaps it's just Washington's presence, an actor who's always only somewhat serious about himself and about the characters he plays. Anyway, the movie as a whole doesn't seem to take itself too seriously, too. Therefore, in spite of several loopholes and inconsistencies, it provides good fun without getting too heavy or self- important. Points to Scott for that, and let's hope for more entertaining stuff by the Washington-Scott duo. What begins as a seemingly ordinary disaster film turns into a geek-pseudo-sci-fi high-action and even slightly romantic drama. When moving through time is introduced, it is done organically and, again, the movie doesn't make too much of a big deal about it, and - thank the gods - doesn't try to over-explain it. It remains, above all, a good show that's fun to watch.

OK- so the movie is not a comedy. It still has one of the funniest dialogues out there. Danzel W has just saved the girl, and is explaining what the terrorist is planning, and why he has to make it to Algiers before 9:40 "You're not going to make it" "I've only got an hour and 40 minutes to catch up to this guy" "What if you don't make it" "If I don't make it....." (deep thought) "your house is along the way" Then he proceeds to stop at her house, leave her alter ego a message, allow her to take a nice, long, hot shower, clean his own battle wound and allow her to dress it, comment on her outfit, prove his identity to her, and finally make out for a bit. Tick-tock, tick-tock. Who writes this drivel, anyway?

Wow. What is it about Denzel Washington that's so lovable on the big screen? The guy is just fantastic. Everything he touches seems to be gold. His acting style is never over the top - and never dull - just seems to be perfect.I watched this movie again for the second time tonight in 2015. I'm more impressed this time than the first. How's that possible? Perhaps it's been a lifetime since Hollywood's produced a great Sci-Fi movie. Denzel Washington and Sci-fi?? What?? Yes, this is 100% Sci-Fi and does a damn good job. I've seen it all. I'm a trekkie, computer geek - you name it - i'm it. I know my Sci-Fi. This has a great story, great acting and a great villain. It's everything a great movie should be.Don't hesitate. Watch this immediately. Even if you're not that much of a Sci-Fi fan, this still has enough to offer to keep anybody engaged and happy all the way through. Absolutely loved it!
