Deja Vu

I'm right in the middle of the movie Deja Vu.

Denzel Washington is a detective investigating a terrorist attack. Typical action fare.

However, 30 minutes in he was taken to a secret base where scientists watch a giant TV that's always showing what happened four days in the past! It makes no sense, but this is just the kind of abject craziness I love.

This thing is nuts. At the moment he's involved in a car chase while wearing goggles that can see through time. He's chasing a car that's driving four days ago while trying to avoid the cars on the road at the present moment.

Now he's watching his partner - four days from retirement perhaps - be murdered days ago, while seeing the crocodiles that have already digested him.

Apparently the case can be solved by following the life of a murdered woman. Denzel is of course falling in love with her while spending days spying on her in the shower. He's only met her in the flesh though, holding her mutilated hand after she died - - four days ago!

This movie is ridiculous. Awesome ridiculous.





















EDIT: The ending sucks. This, my friends, is a message from me to you, from the future.
