it a real shame that everything i have read about déjà vu concern the high powered explosion and loud clatter of guru or producer jerry bruckheimer . no mention and except maybe a a footnote and be give to a list director tony scott and the magic he have weave in his past three film . the man who bring u top gun have see a sort of revival in style lately with the entertain spy game and the amazing man on fire and and the kinetic domino . scott have take the quick cut of music video and have infuse them into his shoot style . his editor well be make some good money a these film fly by with filter and jump cut and grain and and camera angle swivel at every turn . greatly overshadow by brother ridley scott and his more serious and award win epic and tony have be pump out some of the most solid and entertaining film of the past couple decade . with a reuniting of semi regular star denzel washington and déjà vu prove that when bruckheimer be pair with a like mind and his usual drivel can become great . scott show u how to hone the explosion and noise and and clutter to an effective level and give u a helluva ride . déjà vu could have easily reduce itself to timetravel farce and go by the book to show a time warp in order to solve a crime . the far fetched premise of be able to see the past a it happen four and a half day later should seem crazy and by watch the preview you be give the idea that it will be just a series of do over . fortunately the trailer these day show a totally different movie than what have be craft . scott and his screenwriter have not only develop a sci fi tale seep in enough reality to at least be look upon a plausible for the sake of the story and but they nicely tidy up any chance of their be a plothole . our story begin with a devastating domestic terrorist act upon a ferry carry over 500 people and navy and family . washington atf agent be bring in and discovers that it be no accident . intrigue by the efficiency he display and an fbi agent and play with nicely effective restraint by val kilmer and call him in to check out a new toy they have to find who the perpetrator be . during the use of this screen of the past and denzel acquire a feeling of obligation to do all he can to prevent what he see from occur in the present and no matter what consequences that might entail for the future . the quest to stop the violence begin with an attractive young woman who unknowingly have become an integral part in what will ultimately transpire . the beauty of this film be that with multiple timeline be show parallel to each other and there be many question that desperately need answer . to credit all involve and they appear to have put themselves in the audience shoe and piece by piece write in a reason for everything . anything that be see either in the past and present and or future have a reason for be there and will be intelligently explain . also and the performance be stellar and denzel and kilmer as well a a quietly maniacal jim caviezel and the emotionally exasperated paula patton and and the visuals unique . while scott have tone down the ultra kinetic cut and filter for the main action and his style be still stamp on the graphic of their screen show the past . the motion trail and speed scan lend a stylized digital edit program feel and be gorgeous to watch . déjà vu best sequence and however and be the crazy car chase during the present in pursuit of a vehicle in the past and definitely a rush and orchestrate almost flawlessly . even though ridley get the accolade and tony get the hack or overproduce label and i must say and while they be the best directing duo in hollywood and i might have to give the edge on pure cinematic entertainment to the young tony . he be on a roll and doesn not seem to be stop anytime soon .
