Deja Vu (PG-13) 6.5

Deja Vu (2006): An ATF agent travels back in time to save a woman from being murdered, falling in love with her during the process. (7.0)

Director: Tony Scott
Stars: Denzel Washington, Paula Patton and James Caviezel

Hmm... time travel + action adventure? I dunno; for me, the time travel part leaves something more to be desired. (spoiler alert) Okay, so the mega time machine is available for big investigations. If you use that to go back in time to prevent the very thing that it is investigating, you wouldn't have the time machine for you to go back and prevent the event (paradox). Or, at the point you prevent it from happening, you create a different timeline but in the original timeline the same people are going to die; but you are supposed to feel good about the new timeline (and forget the old one) because that's what a feel-good movie is all about? Um, no. If you are a writer about time travel, give it more thought guys, please. Otherwise, the movie is good; good acting, action, sets, etc. My Rating: 6.5
