Déjà Vu: Movie Review

Greetings and Salutations! This is Michael Wyatt, that same movie reviewer you keep reading over and over again. Or maybe you just get a feeling that you've read me before. You know... that feeling you can only describe in French? You know the feeling. You might think you recognize someone you've never met or feel as though you've been somewhere before on your first visit. Could there be more to those feelings?

If you've seen the trailer for Déjà Vu you already know this movie is going to test that old time travel theory of branching realities and altered past. You can watch the past, but can you change it? Or do those changes you make to the past actually change anything... or did they already happen?

Greetings and Salutations! This is a movie review for Déjà Vu starring Denzel Washington. You know... that actor that played in Glory, Malcolm X, Virtuosity, The Bone Collector, Training Day, and John Q, just to name a few. This time around Denzel is an ATF agent investigating the aftermath of an apparent terrorist attack on a New Orleans ferryboat. It's not much of a reach for Denzel. He seems to be made to fit into the handsome investigative action-oriented but ultra-realistic mold. He keeps playing it over and over, but it works well for him.

There are some surprises in store for you in Déjà Vu. My favorite surprise was relative newcomer, Paula Patton. You may have seen her before on Idlewild, London or Hitch. Even if you have, you probably will get a French feeling if she reminds you of Aaliyah with her soft beauty, intense eyes and expressive lips. I sincerely hope she can stay on the big screen for a while because she was an absolute pleasure to watch, and several of the characters in the movie would definitely agree with me on that!
