A Riveting, Violent Thriller...
Just to head this review off, I think that DEJA VU should have been rated R. It's fine for most kids 15 and up, but intense violence makes it unsuitable for most kids who will want to see it. The film has a very gritty feel to it, and though the violence isn't particularly graphic, it is very harrowing to watch. One scene where a man is covered in oil, shot through the head, and then set on fire seems pretty harsh for a PG-13 rating. The film opens with a ferry containing 500+ soldiers and their families (the camera focuses on children) explodes, killing everyone. We see scorched bodies in the water, and greiving family members. We also see the badly burned body of the main female character, missing a few fingers on one hand. We hear a verbal description of her murder (she was killed similarly to the man I mentioned before). Also, a man explodes with a car bomb underwater, a second man is shot in the head (not graphic), and we see several bloody scratches and wounds on people. The whole plot is too mature for kids, and deals with themes like vigilantism and terrorism. Though the villain is obviously a poor role model, the two main characters sacrifice their well-being and possibly their lives to do what they think is right. There is some mild language ("b**ch", "a*s", "d**n") and one scene shows a split second view of the side of a female character's breast as she steps into the shower.

Amazing movie! Great for 14 and up!
Suggested MPAA Rating: PG-13 for an intense scene of violence and terror, violence, intense scenes, and brief nudity. Violence includes multiple murders, kidnappings, live burnings, terrorism scenes including hundreds of deaths and burning victims, etc... Language is very mild, especially for a PG-13. It includes two uses of sh**, one pissed, and a couple other mild wordage. Sex/nudity is very mild, apart from one explicit scene. There is no sex, or sex jokes, however a scene of nudity. A group of men watch a video recording of a woman taking a shower, the top of her behind is scene about 2 seconds, and a brief glimpse of her breast is scene. Full breast, including obvious nipple.

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+

Brief Nudity and Violence Not for young viewers
Its a good movie for adults and older teens. My concerns for the younger viewers would be the violence as there is alot in this film, including a man getting shot and burned, and a bomb blowing up a ship with many people on board, body bags lined up. Language wasn't an issue in this movie however NUDITY was a women is seen completely naked her breasts and butt are both visible as she gets into the shower.

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.

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!

 
Different but Interesting
This movie is different from what you would think it would be, but quite a thriller with plenty of action, Denzel Washington does a terrific job. Good movie

Run-On film, Some violence, Slight, very Brief nudity.
Not that good of a film, A little violence, possibly the odd swear-word or two. Agreeable PG-13 rating. 1 or 2 second, a girl upper body is visible when she gets in the shower. But overall, appropriate for a 12 year-old.

LOVED THIS MOVIE!!!
this movie was insanely awesome! it had awesome twists, and amazing acting. very good. i recomend for 12+ who love thrillers.

 
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.

Deja Vu - Playback Plot
Deja Vu is a action thriller with decent acting. The film doesn't achieve anything greater or fail at all. Denzel is Denzel and you are you. It stays that way. The movie's plot is what makes the movie. First it's a investigation then time travel and back again. Nice touch

Rather scary, shady, and confusing.
Scary at the onset where the ship gets blown up, shady in the middle where the investigation occurs, and confusing at the end where the main protagonist goes back in time and stops the ship from blowing up. Rather scary altogether, I think.

 
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.

BLAH.
My rating: PG-13 for some intense violence. Violence: 2.5/5 - Infrequent, but explosive.

Violence, Murder, Bombs and Love: Deja Vu
This action-packed thriller is an awesome production. Denzel Washington plays an agent who is assigned to solve the case of a recent bombing of a veteran ship trip. He also strives to see if the murder of the woman whose body washed up on the nearby shore of which the ship took off is linked to the bombing. The race against time accelerates as he uses high-tech equipment to see through time and operate in the future at the same time. The story is a bit to understand and handle, but the substance is excellent. There is mild profanity and extreme violence. Car races, guns, shootings, crime, murder, you name it. That's why this movie is rated PG-13.

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.

 
Made me dizzy
This was a good movie and I saw it twice in the theatre, but it is quite violent and disturbing for kids.
