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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
