After the long drought of any watchable movies due to the so-called Metro Manila Film Festival (nothing to be festive about if you ask me), I was really in need for something to watch. The most interesting of the new openings seemed to be Déjà Vu so off I went. I was expecting it to be similar to Man on Fire. But heck it was just for an action fix. Denzel Washington was good (what’s new?), Val Kilmer turned in a good supporting role (his curse since Top Gun), and even James Caviezel got the villain role down pat. But it turned out I was right: The two movies were indeed similar. But they were also quite dissimilar. Better if you watch yourself but I’ll tell you this much: In both movies he dies (oopsie), but in this one he gets the girl. Have fun!
Rating: 4/5
