Déjá Vu set itself up for success just by including two awesome elements -- Denzel Washington and time travel.

Something it didn't include is dèjá vu itself. The concept was implied only once in the movie, and that was during the last five minutes. The title and trailers for the film are very misleading to what it's actually about.

The movie follows Doug Carlin (Denzel Washington), an agent in the bureau of alcohol, tobacco, firearms and explosives, as he attempts to find the terrorist behind a New Orleans ferry bombing.

While looking into the crime, he is told that the body of a woman named Claire Kuchever (Paula Patton) has been pulled from the water, and she appears to be a victim of the bombing. Carlin discovers that despite her severe burns, she died before the ferry exploded.

Carlin then realizes that solving the mystery of Kuchever's death will lead to the terrorist.

While working on the case, he teams up with a group of people who have extremely advanced technology. Using satellites and thermal imaging, they are able to see events that occurred four and a half days before by creating a wormhole.

They can watch from any angle they choose and even look through walls, but the technology is streaming video only -- they can't rewind or fast forward. We later learn that these people aren't watching video of events that already happened. They're actually looking directly into the past and seeing it play out live.

As if that wasn't enough, they can even send objects into the past. To save Kutchever and the hundreds of ferry explosion victims, Carlin travels four and a half days into the past, despite warnings that the technology could kill him.

The believability of Déjá Vu is pretty low. Before the time travel aspect comes into play, Carlin uses a special helmet that allows him to remain in the present but follows the actions of he terrorist four days ago. The helmet has an eyepiece that covers one eye and shows whatever you're looking at how it appeared four days ago. For example, while Carlin is driving down the highway, his right eye sees traffic as it is happening, while his left sees traffic as it happened four days ago.

It doesn't stop there. The movie feels as though the writers invented whatever technology they wanted to move the story along, regardless of the fact that Déjá Vu is supposed to take place in 2006 and not a century from now.

Even though the technological exaggerations bothered me, the movie was still entertaining. The actors created believable characters, and the story line was complex, but not to the point of confusion.

Carlin's investigation into Kuchever's death leads him to fall in love with her, and it's sweet in an unconventional sort of way.

Don't see this movie if you're expecting it to have anything to do with dèjá vu, or if you want to see something that could really happen. If, however, you feel like seeing an entertaining story about domestic terrorism and time travel, then it's worth the money. Grade: B+
