4/5
"Like its protagonist, you may find yourself wanting to see it more than once to appreciate how everything fits together - which earns Deja Vu the status of a classic, at least for the future."  Channel 4 Film  Anton Bitel

"The time travel in 'Deja Vu' boggled my mind completely, and I'm still scratching my head trying to figure the whole thing out."  ReelTalk Movie Reviews  Betty Jo Tucker

C
"As Yogi Berra so eloquently put it, 'this is like deja vu all over again.'"  FromTheBalcony  Bill Clark

C-
"Perhaps too many outside forces, from Katrina to Tony Scott, were dead set against allowing Déjà Vu to be anything resembling a fun roller coaster ride."  eFilmCritic.com  Brian Orndorf

"This leap from contemporary coppish thriller into science fiction is initially jarring, but soon revealed as the thematic point."  PopMatters  Cynthia Fuchs

50/100
"While not as nasty as Man on Fired, Scott's apparently indestructable dreadfulness is in full display in Deja Vu."  Apollo Guide  Dan Jardine

3/5
"The script, however, is a little less rickety than a FEMA trailer."  eFilmCritic.com  Dan Lybarger

C
"Fortunately, this completely ridiculous plot is somewhat salvaged via the casting of a quality actor. Unfortunately for Denzel Washington, he's the actor."  EDGE Boston  David Foucher

3/4
"...consistently entertaining and surprisingly intelligent..."  Reel Film Reviews  David Nusair

C-
"Loses its bearings in hokum."  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz

5/10
"ve%u0107 vi%u0111eno"  Index.hr  Dragan Antulov

2.5/4
"When so many movies are predictable cookie-cutter affairs, it makes one appreciate the flawed Déjà Vu for the risks it takes and the heady imagination it implores."  TheMovieBoy.com  Dustin Putman

B
"This is a smart, fleet-footed action drama -- with sci-fi thrown in for good measure -- that benefits from Tony Scott's energy without succumbing to his hyperactivity."  EricDSnider.com  Eric D. Snider

2/4
"Their title can't reflect what it promises to deliver other than exposing the phenomenon of cinematic monotony; an event more frequent than you could possibly believe."  eFilmCritic.com  Erik Childress

C
"Just a middle-grade action-adventure with pretensions and serious script problems."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

2/5
"A high-tech thriller that reaches too far with its themes of time travel and a life-saving miracle."  Spirituality and Practice  Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

3/4
"Déjà Vu impresses with both the complexity of its storyline and its willingness to allow things to develop at their own pace without interjecting a lot of needless action scenes into the early proceedings to keep viewers attentive."  ReelViews  James Berardinelli

"You'll get a headache from trying to apply plot logic to it . . ."  Sci-Fi Movie Page  James O'Ehley

8/10
"Click here to read review"  Kinoblog.com  Jaroslav Vishtaljuk

5/10
"...we've seen it all before."  DVDTown.com  John J. Puccio

3/5
"Scott manages to keep his rhythm high and the tension spiking, without causing migranes. Which is pretty much a first in a long time."  Movies for the Masses  Joseph Proimakis

1.5/4.0
"With two lines of dialogue, The Matrix had more to say about the phenomenon of deja vu than an entire movie with the same title."  MovieCrypt.com  Kevin A. Ranson

3/5
"Even for time travel enthusiasts who'll see story holes big enough to drive the ferry through, this can be a fun movie. Just don't think too hard about it."  7M Pictures  Kevin Carr

C+
"I can't help feeling I've seen it all before."  Reeling Reviews  Laura Clifford

3/4
"An utterly preposterous but entertaining sci-fi action brain-bender, this 'what if?' tale makes high-tech hay with the idea that deja vu isn't just a hiccup in the neural circuitry."  TV Guide's Movie Guide  Maitland McDonagh

B
"An unforeseen mix of action, sci-fi, and even a hint of romance, Deja Vu's pleasures are in delivering what we don't see coming."  Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema  Mark Pfeiffer

"All that rot about the weird feeling of thinking you've met someone before and how there's clues in the sensation to how it's not just a feeling after all? What a load of rubbish. None of it -- none -- bears even the remotest resemblance to the act"  Flick Filosopher  MaryAnn Johanson

3/4
"There's scarcely a moment in the film that is plausible, but that's okay. This is fantasy, and it's fantasy that is entertaining and suspenseful throughout."  Aisle Seat  Mike McGranaghan

B+
"A heart-pounding thriller with a time-travel twist, "Deja Vu" will not leave you thinking you've seen it all before."  Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies  Nell Minow

2/4
"Tony Scott doesn't even wait for Deja Vu to properly begin before employing the spastic visual stylings that are his calling card."  Slant Magazine  Nick Schager

4/5
"O filme apresenta um conceito tão interessante que, confesso, a idéia de ver novas aventuras centradas nesta premissa é algo que me agradaria."  Cinema em Cena  Pablo Villaca

2.5/5
"The mind-bending story is enough to keep us interested, although the film is bloated and needlessly overcomplicated."  Shadows on the Wall  Rich Cline

B
"Slick production with top-notch effects, stunts and acting talent."  Laramie Movie Scope  Robert Roten

"Towards the end it gets a little tiresome and hokey. But the ride of the first two-thirds is well worth the journey."  Calgary Movies  Ryan Cracknell

3.5/5
"Grinds its gears while slipping from one genre to the other, but I bet you'll be pretty intrigued to see how it all turns out."  Cinematical  Scott Weinberg

3.5/5
"puts Tony Scott back on track"  Filmcritic.com  Sean O'Connell

"Washington is so casually, inherently likable that he makes wending through the movie's multiple implausibilities easier to bear."  Salon.com  Stephanie Zacharek

3/4
"If it isn't the brilliant film it could have been, Déjà Vu still contains enough flashes of that film to make it entertaining while you're watching it."  Christianity Today  Steven D. Greydanus

8/10
"Intense and intriguing, it's an action-packed techno-thriller that makes you think."  www.susangranger.com  Susan Granger

2.5/4
"Who woulda thunk that crap-meister Tony Scott could be so in tune with the spirit of the times?"  Film Freak Central  Walter Chaw
