Tony Scott is one of the most interesting and complex directors in the film world today, as for Deja Vu, starring Denzel Washington and Val Kilmer, Tony takes the very simple process of changing time and space and makes it into something interesting, fun and just cool to watch. Deja Vu is a perfect example of a well made thriller with a hint of science fiction and mystery involved. Tony Scott has worked with Denzel before on Man on Fire, as both Denzel and Tony did a great job in whole creating an amazing movie.

In Algiers, New Orleans, after the explosion of a ferry transporting the sailors from the USS Nimitz and their families with 543 casualties, the lonely AFT agent Doug Carlin is assigned to investigate the terrorist attack. Without any lead, he is informed by Sheriff Reed about...

A good blend of smart sci-fi and action.

I really enjoyed this film. I didn't know anything about it going into, it was an impulse selection. The movie sets up to potentially be some average action/thriller type movie but then they swerve you into this sci fi element that I really enjoyed. Another thing I loved about it, the sci fi in the movie is presented in some surprising detail and doesn't treat the viewers like they are in preschool. The movie definitely hits you very fast with a lot of information and expects the viewer watching is capable enough to grasp it. I know another review on here mentioned the stakes weren't that high.. I dunno I really think the lives of 500 people are pretty high stakes. I dunno check it out for yourself. I think it's quite good. I've watch it several times since it's been out and will again i...

This has been on my Netflix for quite some time but I kept pushing it back because movies that I was more interested in kept being released. After hearing all the hype about it, I finally decided to watch it. I must admit that I had semi-high expectations. I was expecting a realistic, street-smart thriller, but instead I got a thriller mixed with science fiction. Although I went along for the ride, overall I felt like there was something missing. The stakes weren't that high and the supposed thrilling scenes weren't as thrilling as it should have been due to their wrong timing and delivery. I felt like the filmmakers had a good concept to work with but botched up the screenplay. I think if this film had been on the hands of a more capable director, this could've been more engaging.
