Watching Washington determinedly negotiate one out-there plot turn after another, often with a big disbelieving grin on his face, is almost enough.

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.

Reviews for Deja Vu
Déjà Vu isn't meant for heavy thinking; it's simply designed as entertainment. On that level, it's hard to fault.
11/29/06
It's delivered with an assured pacing and discovery where the story is still revealing itself after the first act.
11/29/06
By the time Carlin climbs into the time machine, you realize that a Marty McFly cameo might be the only way to salvage this dreary plunge into preposterousness.

Tony Scott's energy and skill overwhelm questions of taste and plot inconsistencies, helping elevate Déjà Vu into a large-scale and extremely good-looking adventure.
11/28/06
There's scarcely a moment in the film that is plausible, but that's okay. This is fantasy, and it's fantasy that is entertaining and suspenseful throughout.
11/27/06
Rarely have [producer] Bruckheimer and [director] Scott been so upfront about insulting people's intelligence.
11/27/06
All that rot about the weird feeling of thinking you've met someone before and how there's clues in the sensation to how it's not just a feeling after all? What a load of rubbish. None of it -- none -- bears even the remotest resemblance to the act
11/27/06
Nobody looks cooler walking in slow motion through a crime scene while wearing sunglasses than Denzel Washington -- but even the great Denzel can’t save Déjà Vu.
11/27/06
Scott's direction added to Washington and Patton's charm prevents the flawed Déjà Vu from being fatally ridiculous.
11/27/06
If I could go back in time I would prevent Dominos from adding brownie squares to their pizza menu.
11/27/06
This is an excellent popcorn movie...
11/27/06
I'm not sure what the movie's tagline %u2013 "If you thought it was just a trick of the mind, prepare yourself for the truth," %u2013 is supposed to mean. The tricks in Déjà Vu aren't as clever as one would hope, and there is no truth about anything
11/26/06
This leap from contemporary coppish thriller into science fiction is initially jarring, but soon revealed as the thematic point.
11/25/06
A stylish, engrossing popcorn thriller with a few unexpected rewards -- as long as you don't think about it too hard.
11/24/06
The movie's biggest charm is its unpredictable, offbeat tone.
11/24/06
The fleetingly satisfying Déjà Vu is ultimately a self-fulfilling prophecy.
11/24/06
Slick production with top-notch effects, stunts and acting talent.
11/24/06
Denzel Washington infuses this sci-fi thriller with humanity and realism, despite a plot that would befuddle even the creator of Star Trek.
