Everyone has experienced the unsettling mystery of déjà vu. But what if the feelings were actually warnings sent from the past or clues to the future? In this action-thriller from producer Jerry Bruckheimer, it is déjà vu that unexpectedly guides ATF agent Doug Carlin (Denzel Washington) through an investigation into a shattering crime. Called in to recover evidence after a bomb sets off on a New Orleans Ferry, Carlin is about to discover that what most people believe is only in their heads is actually something far more powerful and will lead him on a race to save hundreds of innocent people.
I'm not going to pretend that I understood what was going on throughout this movie. I was totally lost for a big chunk of it. That being said - what makes or breaks movies like this is their ability to keep the viewer hooked/patient while the filmmakers bring us up to speed. This movie pulled that off magnificently. Like I said - I had no clue what was going on for a while, but I wanted to find out. Even better yet - when it did all get tied together at the end, I was happy with the end result. If it seems like I'm being a little too vague about the movie - I am. This is one of those where you can't say too much without giving it away. The bottom line is that it's worth the confusing ride.
I would fully recommend this movie to everyone. Just keep in mind that you might have no clue what you are watching for a while.
