| Posted by: psycheoutsteve at April 27, 2007, 6:27 pm | | Topic: Deja Vu (spoilers) Forum: JoBlo | | Deja Vu is a film that's riddled with implausibilities and an overly convoluted script. First off, I was disappointed to discover that the filmmakers intentions weren't to explain deja vu in general, but rather how it applied to one event. I thought the former idea would've made for a more interesting film, but that's just me. The second problem I have is with Denzel's character in the movie. How many times has Denzel been playing the same "know-it-all" cop character in his recent films? He was good in the role, but his character didn't really engage my interest in his fate. Unfortunately, none of the other characters in deja vu are very interesting and some are downright cliche. You have the scientific genius, who for some reason helps Denzel time travel despite the risk of killing him in the process. You have the standard psychotic nut-case terrorist, who's motives were unbelievable. And of course, you have the standard love interest, who's fate is connected direly to the shaky plot. Where Deja Vu succeeds as a film is in its style, camera work, action scenes, and a handful of clever moments. For instance, I enjoyed the scenes in which the movie yielded some thought provoking questions, such as the scene where Denzel is informed that his handprints are all over the apartment even though he was wearing latex gloves. As a whole the film is far too complicated for its own good and the ending felt somewhat unsatisfying to me, but it was a good ride nonetheless. thumbs up! 7/10 |
