What Parents Need to Know
About Déjà Vu
Parents need to know that this violent thriller has been targeted more at adults than kids, but some teens will be interested. With the movie's terrorism storyline, it's not surprising that there are explosions, car crashes, fights, and shootings -- which result in burned, bloody, beaten, and drowned bodies. Weapons include knives, guns, bombs, and vehicles. In one scene, scientists and authorities watch voyeuristically as a woman undresses and showers in her apartment. Characters argue loudly and discuss motivations for terrorism alongside religious faith, and in one sad scene, a father grieves his daughter's murder. The language is very tame for a PG-13 film.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the concept of déjà vu: How does it provide a dramatic hook for a movie? What are the characters' different motivations (revenge, self-sacrifice, desire, revulsion, science, faith, etc.)? How do different motivations lead to different results? Families can also discuss the possibilities of time travel. What would you change about your own behavior if you could go back in time? Did you know this movie was about time travel before you saw it? Do you think marketers and producers consciously chose to downplay that angle? Why?

INTENSE!
this movie was really good! it had alot of violence and explosions. There was a really disgusting part when Denzel Washington observes a dead women who was burned and all her fingers were cut off on 1 hand. Lots of shooting and some dead bodies.

Intense
Good movie and confusing at times, you have to have your brain turned on in order for it to make sense. It was a little graphic at times but is a good movie for anyone 13+

BORING
This movie didn't make sense, there are way too many plot holes with time travel, and they did nothing to try and cover any of them. It's also very boring, as nothing is happening most of the movie, other than watching the past.

I did NOT like this!
I did not get what was going on through out the entire move! It would have been good movie if they didn't make it so confusing! If you can listen to EVERY last detail in this to get it then its for you. There was some violants but not bad. But the truth is it was creepy at some parts but overall BORD ME! For kids 12+ Don't waist your time!

This is a good movie. I thought it was a little bit strange but it was good. Really I don't think it is anything to worry about although there are some parts were the girl is undressed but nothing really shows so not to big of a deal.

Great movie...
Very exciting. Some disturbing images and blood within the pg-13 limit. Don't bring anyone scared of action or violence. Very suspenseful and exciting. Great movie.

Just a straight up good movie, nothing special. Different than I expected.
This was one of your just plain movies that is neither really good nor bad-- just plain good. The way the movie moved around plot/time-wise was different from what I expected, and I was also disappointed that the movie never really addressed deja vu either. It had an interesting enough premise on its own though, so the movie was still fine. There's really not that much to say about it since there isn't anything so superb to point out, and it's hard to talk about the movie without ruining it. Content-wise, the movie wasn't as violent as Common Sense Media made it sound, and that seemed to be the biggest concern. Language never escalates beyond about two "s--t" and a few other mild profanities. Sensuality was mild too, with no actual physical contact between people, just some suggestive views of a woman in the shower.
