SGN A&E Writer Déjà vu Directed by Tony Scott Starring Denzel Washington, Val Kilmer, Paula Patton, James Caviezel Opens November 22nd Just about everyone I know has mentioned having a feeling that they've either done something before or been on a street before without having a conscious memory of it. This phenomenon is called 'déjà vu', and generally dismisses as something in the realm of imagination. But what if the feeling were scientific and if there were a way to travel back in time to prevent tragedies from happening, or save someone's life? This is where Denzel Washington's character in the new Tony Scott film, Déjà Vu finds himself after a ferry is blown up by an unknown terrorist in post-Katrina New Orleans. Washington works for the ATF (Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and Explosives) section of the government and is brought in to find answers in the aftermath of the disaster, only he ends up finding more questions and stumbling into a new government program that can travel back in time. But only in a limited capacity. So, with the help of the head of this program (Val Kilmer) and the team of scientists/experts, Washington races against time to try and find the bomber, stop the disaster, and save the woman whose body turns up in the midst of the dead. Only Washington is convinced that she wasn't originally on the ferry, but is somehow tied to the bomber. As he gets closer to the truth, the audience is tantalized with the idea of time travel and the true nature of time. Unfortunately, most folks were glazed over at this point but I still recommend this flick anyway. All of the science geek mumbo-jumbo aside, it's a first rate thriller. |
