I saw Deja Vu last night and wasn't terribly disappointed. Denzel Washington takes the lead as ATF Agent Doug Carlin who appears to be very good at his job. Able to see crime scene and rapidly observe the most critical details. After "the disaster" enter Val Kilmer (looking chunky) and the FBI who have a new way to warp time so that they can watch the past. They notice Agent Carlin's nunchuck skillz and want to use him since they cannot record or rewind their ability to watch the past and need a keen observer. So the time warp thing is whack for sure but they do a believable job with the sci-fi aspect and don't throw it over the top anymore than they have to.
If you want to pick up the physics and science of the movie it will not be fun for you. If you can sit back and enjoy the ride it's a great edge of your set thriller. The only thing I did not like were the two or three reference made to "Oklahoma City" in reference to Denzel's character. That was never cleared up for me. The other thing I did not like is that some woman brought her 2 or 3 year old to the theater and that poor little girl saw and heard things no little person should. That said the violence/gore is CSI level stuff and not gratuitous at all. I would say they swore less then ten times in the movie and the only thing that absolutely didn't need to be there was a nude shot of the main chick.
Go check it out, it's at the dollar theaters.

The Oklahoma City bombing was George Bush's fault. Did they touch on that in the movie?
