Our take on Déjà Vu

Tony Scott's 2006 thriller opens on the aftermath of a devastating ferry explosion in New Orleans, where federal agent Doug Carlin is pulled from the investigation into a secret government lab built around a time-shifting surveillance device meant to prevent crime. From there the film braids grief and forensic detail into a high-concept chase that bends the rules of cause and effect. It suits viewers who enjoy sci-fi thrillers built on a bold premise and Scott's kinetic, high-gloss style, and who don't mind a plot that leans into paradox. Emotionally driven for the genre, it pairs propulsive action with a wistful undertow about second chances.
