Who among us has not experienced that queasy feeling -the sense that a current observation, incident or dialogue was something we had experienced at a previous point in life? No one I think, but how?
November 23, 2006 (Press Release) --
Sometimes while walking into a cathedral or some other ancient site, I've had a very distinct feeling of having ''been here before'' -- perhaps during an era that was generations or even centuries before I was born.
Usually, most of us laugh off those sensations, which the French call deja vu, and perhaps we attribute them to overactive imaginations.
Yet a very strong sense of "deja vu'' is the focus of director Tony Scott in this film that understandably adopts that French phrase as its title.
This is the third movie Scott has made with Denzel Washington -- previously directing him in ''Crimson Tide'' and ''Man on Fire'' -- and again the director and actor team up for an exciting thriller.
As long as we're talking about repetition, it seems appropriate to dredge up a phrase that has graced many, many reviews of movies past: This is definitely one heck of a roller-coaster thrill ride. ''Deja Vu'' takes you on a wonderfully twisting and turning journey that often will leave you wondering and perhaps confused -- but ultimately leaves you with a satisfying and totally logical explanation when the credits role.
Without giving too much away -- this is a film you won't want to know much about before you see it. Suffice it to say writers Bill Marsilii and Terry Rossio do take some inspiration from Christopher Nolan's ''Memento'' concept. But it's all presented here in a quite different way.
In the movie, set in New Orleans (the first film shot there post-Hurricane Katrina), the fireworks start immediately. A bomb goes off aboard a ferry carrying hundreds of passengers. A federal agent named Doug Carlin (Washington) is brought in to investigate and in the process, he stumbles across an intriguing piece of evidence.
