Critics Consensus

Tony Scott tries to combine action, science fiction, romance, and explosions into one movie, but the time travel conceit might be too preposterous and the action falls apart under scrutiny.

It's a hard movie to hate, just one that's far too easy to forget.

Time Out

Take away a couple of neatly staged action sequences and you're left with a callously measured slab of US jingoism that deals with the most horrific human tragedies in the most lunk-headed and insulting way possible.

Gone With The Twins

If one can get past the dubious technical details of the setup, the competent acting should take care of the rest of the entertainment.

Rated: 7/10

Herald Sun (Australia)

Sounds a bit dodgy, huh? Not when an in-form Denzel Washington is involved. He's the glue that keeps this absurdly compelling thriller together as it mashes up the present and the past to intoxicating effect.

Rated: 4/5

Although a certain amount of disbelief suspension is a necessity, the script tries exceptionally hard, and succeeds, in building a credible case.

*Déjà Vu* is a compelling blend of science fiction and action, showcasing Denzel Washington's exceptional talent. His portrayal of ATF agent Doug Carlin is both engaging and nuanced, bringing depth to the character. The film's production is noteworthy, with director Tony Scott utilizing advanced visual effects to create a seamless narrative that explores complex themes of time and memory. The cinematography by Paul Cameron effectively captures the vibrant essence of New Orleans, adding a rich backdrop to the unfolding mystery. Washington's subtle humor, particularly the quip about the "seven dwarves," adds a light touch to the intense storyline. Jim Caviezel delivers a strong performance as the antagonist, contributing to the film's tension and depth. Overall, *Déjà Vu* is a well-crafted film that combines innovative storytelling with strong performances, making it a memorable addition to the genre.

Good movie. It moves quickly, not predictable. Denzel as usual is great. I find with many dramas the script and acting are unnatural. This one is great. All good actors that help make this a suspenseful, thrilling, and unpredictable movie.

Love Denzel, but not this movie. The writing, directing and acting just seemed off. And watching Caviezel play a bad guy made my brain glitch. I would have loved this movie years ago. It took me 66 years to get this jaded.
