Deja Vu

Deja Vu may be the first Tony Scott movie that makes you itchy in a good way. The director of Domino, Enemy of the State and Spy Game, Scott has become the definitive ADD filmmaker. But his style is fitting for this thriller, in which the past and the present overlap (Denzel Washington plays the investigator of a ferry bombing who gets that been-here-before feeling). Not knowing exactly where you are – let alone where you’ve been or where you’re going – is what the movie is all about, and Scott can evoke that sort of discombobulation with the flick of his editing machine.
