So, everyone's reaction to Sexyback: "I didn't know it left."
Everyone's reaction to Deja Vu?: "Wow, what the hell just happened?"
This movie, all in all, was great. The characters were intreguing, and despite the seriousness of the movie in general, they had their humorous moments. Basically, the movie is about an ATF guy named Doug Karline (Denzel) who is investigating the terrorist bombing of a boat carrying members of the navy who have just arrived back to America along with their families and children. Shortly after, he is offered a job at a branch working for CSI. He accepts, only to find that the new technology that is supposedly 'satalite feed' is actually a time portal, seeing directly four days into the past. Denzel soon hatches a plan to try and stop what has already happened from happening, by affecting the past directly.
So, really, I left out a lot of stuff, like Denzel's crazy obsession with the woman they found in the river and why she's connected to the boat bombing. Plus Denzel's partner and why his death affects him signing onto this branch of CSI... but, you'll have to watch the movie and find all that out.
The moral of the movie is thatyou can change one thing in time, but you cannot change everything, like throwing a rock into the Mississippi. It won't change it's course, but it'll cause a few ripples. An alternate reality theory that I had never quite heard before.
In other words, a very good movie. Watch it!
