Another vigilante movie.  But ... Denzel Washington holds the movie together through shear acting ability.  The storyline is not a new one, the script however was a catalyst between the storyline and the acting.;  Maybe I'm a bit prejudiced when it comes to acting abilities - but Washington is in the top 50 of all-time actors' abilities list.

Entertaining movie with a decent storyline and even better actors.  Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg deliver great performances and kept me engaged the entire time - well worth renting.

Good movie, but I'm a big Denzel fan.  It had me on the edge of my seat and my husband liked it.

I watched the blu-ray version of this film, and the picture is stunning. Color saturation, black levels and sheer image crispness make this movie one of the finest i've seen yet on blu-ray. As for the movie's story it's pretty simple. Washington is an atf-agent sent to investigate a bombing aboard a New Orleans ferry where he meets Val Kilmer's character. Kilmer's an fbi agent who is in charge of a top secret "surveilance" project assined to this case as well. It's pretty clear early on that there is going to be some time travel in this flick, especially with a title like "Deja-vu". But the director knows how implausible this premise is, and tries hard to pull the viewer into the emotional side of this bombing first. This works with a lot of help from Washington's conviction to a beautiful victim of the attack...or is she? All the little clues of her death & the case in general don't add up. This combined with Denzel's performance makes the viewer care. It makes us want to stop this thing before it ever happens. I could empathize with Washington's desperation to try anything to help the girl, and of course stop this 'terrorist attack'. It's at this point where the film draws you into the techincal side of how Kilmer's fbi-team accidentally figured out a way to witness the crime scene before it actually happens...hmm. Anyhow, there are some nifty action pieces a lot of which revolve around the premise that all the events leading up to the attack are intertwined. True, there are a few times where whats happening onscreen can be a little confusing. That's okay. The movie-goer is supposed to be in a flux at these times. It's all going somewhere, so don't overthink it. One could endlessly analyze all of the parallels of time-travel until...well, the end of time, (ha-ha)...instead, just roll with the premise of this film, and have fun. It's a typical good-guy/bad-guy action movie, but with a fresh approach to the genre.

This is a fantastic movie.  It ebbs and flows away a good drama should.  This movie lacks action because it's a drama and they don't waste a lot of money blowing up cars and buildings just to get people to care.  Good acting and a good story.  This movie is set in Seattle, Washington and stays true to the areas economic condition. Poulsbo, Washington is where the movie was filmed, but it is supposed to be taking place in Bremerton Naval Academy.  The cinematography is a little bit dated, but then again, this film is well over 20 years old.  Debra Winger, Richard Gere have good screen chemistry.  It's a good date movie for anyone who hasn't already seen it.

Entertaining and engrossing, totally holds your interest, the first 10 minutes alone make it worth watching, Denzel Washington was great.  Mixed thoughts on the ending but definitely see this.

I was looking forward to seeing this film.

I was not disappointed.

Russell (the reason I bought this DVD package) was great.  Denzel did a good job as well.

Interesting story to follow.

The film is long but in this case you do not mind.  You do NOT get bored.

I did NOT like however the unnecessary nudity.  AND WE DID NOT NEED TO SHOOT THE DOG.

Excellent DVD package.  Although some of the extras were TV specials or parts of programs I had already taped.

It is, of course, violent.

If you are a fan of Russell `s, Denzel's or Ridley's you will enjoy the film.

I input this review the day before the 2008 Oscars.  TOO BAD the films did not get more nominations.

I love all of Denzel Washington's movies.  He is an excellent actor in every sense of the word.  There was a part when he and the heroin girl were hooking up, that I thought this should be a made for TV movie.  Then the movie took off, as Denzel battled with the demon of alcohol.  During the board hearing, Denzel's character could not continue the lies.  This was the scene when he first admits that he is an alcoholic.  This scene and the hotel room scene was more than worth the money.  Beast of the southern wild will dominate the academy so I would be surprised if Denzel's movie even gets a mention.

Despite some local purists upset that the characters were not 'true to life' --- its a very well done movie. Chronicled a time in history not widely known. My thought after seeing the movie - and seeing some critiques regarding the characters, is that anyone has the ability to have their version of the story portrayed.  This version was the first widely released, acting was fantastic by both Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe with fine performances by much of the supporting cast.

Denzel Washington typically does a great job and did in this movie as well.  Definitely builds tension and keeps you on the edge of your seat!  Well worth watching.

For train buffs like me, this film, Unstoppable, kept a tight grip on my attention.
The acting was believable and well delivered with superb performances by Denzel
Washington and Chris Pine  A fascinating movie, appropriate for a wide audience.

Great movie from start to finish.  Action was good.  Suspense was good.  Denzel Washington plays a great partying rockstar pilot.

Unbreakable gives us another strong performance from Bruce Willis.  Although almost no critics have mentioned it, Bruce Willis is actually a tremendous actor.  You have only to watch Terry Gilliam's 12 Monkeys for further proof of that.  He has cultivated that sort of action star persona that has worked extremely well in the Die Hard movies, but Willis' talents far exceed that of his genre colleges such as Jean-Claude and Arnold.  Even the Die Hard movies should be clear indications of what a talent Willis actually is--Die Hard does not follow the conventions of an action movie at all (John McClean seems like more of an everyman than a superhero) yet the film is much more effective than most action films.  Similarly, Unbreakable plays with Willis' pseudo-hero, mostly regular guy, reputation.  In Unbreakable, Willis' plays an ex-football player who is the only survivor of a disasterous train wreck.  Samuel L. Jackson plays the slightly odd comic book collector who tries to convice Willis that he is in fact a superhero.  The film is different because of how down-to-earth willis is.  Rather than whoop for joy over his new potential powers, he seems awestruck and concerned over the implications this might have on his everyday life.  This film takes great efforts to examine the mind of, not only the idealized superheros we've all grown up admiring, but the connections to the real-life people who must have inspired these stories (think of the real life people who must have inspired Beowulf or even King Arthur).  One of the interesting ideas is that through the flattering exaguration, the human conflict of these inspiring people is totally lost.  The question then is, is their life experience rendered meaningless? Unbreakable is sure to keep you on your toes because it is so much different than any movie that has come before.  It doesn't try to hit you over the head with dazzling special effects or exagurated tales of human accomplishment, rather it goes at it from the human emotional side, a track that is often overlooked but equally powerful.  It may seem absurd to take comic book heros and examine their problems as though they were real people, but this movie walks the tightrope with a deft step and the results are wonderful.  Holding together the entire film is Willis' believeable performance witch is both powerful and heartbreaking.  Certainly if this isn't the movie that brings Willis his deserved acolades as an actor the next one he does certainly will.

Good movie, I gave it a 4 because they don't have a 3.5. All and all good plot, action scenes, and acting. Bonus they had Mila Kunis trying to sleep with mac daddy Denzel. Hot chicks cool flicks, check it out.
