![]() It's also a fine, well thought-out little time travel movie whose plot is up there with that of the excellent underrated Spanish flick TIMECRIMES. Some of their older outings have dated somewhat over the years (try watching the overt flashiness of MAN OF FIRE for example) but this one just feels stronger and stronger as the years go by. A feel-good film.ĭEJA VU might just be my favourite pairing of Tony Scott and star Denzel Washington. ![]() Which means that films like this are rare and when a good one comes along you treasure it, not belittle it. Maybe a dozen tops in the last 100 years. I am a film buff (see my other reviews) and I tried to make a list simply of other films in this category, yet alone films that are this good. The picky reviews bother me because the purpose of the IMDb is to create a record for viewers of the futures, not a whine fest for reviewers of the present. And with Denzel holding the camera scene to scene even if there were some flaws, you would not notice them anyway 3. ![]() But when push comes to shove it is about connection and saving the person you love. Involves sci-fi, time travel, detective work, etc. I have seen Deja Vu four times top to bottom and my comments: 1. Scenes of dialogue that just go on and on without ever adding to the story etc etc If you found any joy in the 1978 film or any of the reboot trilogy, then avoid this one, it's woeful.The reason I waited a few years to do this review is that I wanted to see the film a few times - something that reviewers should consider before dashing off a critique. Countless scenes of things that should last a few seconds like a character raking up leaves that go one for minutes at a time. The film rolls in at nearly TWO AND A HALF HOURS and there's a reason for this. Even her hair and clothes suggest she's just an average woman, there's nothing glam about her whatsoever, so taking this serious is hard to do. The main woman in this film is supposed to be the worlds no 1 supermodel who turns down half million dollar offers for fun, yet come on, while she's not a particularly unpleasant woman to look at, there's no way anyone who looks like her would be the worlds most famous model, they didn't even try to get someone stunning for the role. I spent half of the film cringing and wincing at some of the things the bad guys come out with. Some of the dialogue in this abomination seems like it was written by a depressed crack smoking teen, seriously, you won't believe how bad some of the lines are. The main heroines in the film do some of the most stupid things imaginable, it leaves you face palming yourself every few minutes, like seeing one of the villains coming towards you with a knife and despite you having a gun in your hand you.TURN YOUR BACK ON THEM AND START BANGING ON A DOOR, It's cringeworthy to sit through. (Oh look, our main protagonist just ran off into a massive forest and within seconds runs straight into the bad guys who are standing around at the exact spot for her to run into, what a coincidence) All the hicks in the film are depressingly over the top, idiotic and weird. There's countless scenes where people just turn up at the right place and time to push the film onto the next scene, almost as if they have psychic powers and teleportation devices. Maria Olsen's character is so weird and over the top that she ruins every scene she's in. ![]() I've no idea who this is even aimed at, it's not shocking or graphic, it's so badly written and poorly acted and is full of some of the most awful characters ever put onto film. I was so looking forward to this as I really enjoyed the first one all those years ago and was interested in seeing where Jennifer Hills character ended up after the first movie. This has got to be a contender for the worst sequel of all time title.
