Denzel Washington's 2006 Sci-Fi Thriller Is the Time-Bending Masterpiece You Probably Missed




It's crazy to think that a thriller as bonkers as Tony Scott's Déjà Vu was green-lit by a major studio, let alone made over $180 million worldwide. Beyond its time-traveling plot and god-level technical craftsmanship, though, Scott focuses the hyperactive, super-saturated thriller style he perfected in Man on Fire on grounded, moving performances and his characters' subjective experience. Firing on all cylinders as well is Denzel Washington in a heart-melting turn as ATF agent Doug Carlin, who starts off trying to stop a terrorist bombing that already happened and ends up falling in love with a woman he may never meet, but feels compelled to save.
