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
B-
"The time machine element of the movie gets hokey, but the visuals are intriguing and director Tony Scott wrenches suspense and tension from every scene."
ColeSmithey.com
Cole Smithey
"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..."

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."

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
"An intriguing proposal squandered on a well-oiled hack mechanism"
CinePassion
Fernando F. Croce
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 . . ."

"...we've seen it all before."

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

"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"

Sean O'Connell
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."
Decent Films Guide
Steven D. Greydanus
8/10
"Intense and intriguing, it's an action-packed techno-thriller that makes you think."

"Who woulda thunk that crap-meister Tony Scott could be so in tune with the spirit of the times?"
