Take away a couple of neatly staged action sequences and you're left with a callously measured slab of US jingoism that deals with the most horrific human tragedies in the most lunk-headed and insulting way possible.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
I felt cheated.
Rarely have [producer] Bruckheimer and [director] Scott been so upfront about insulting people's intelligence.
Nobody looks cooler walking in slow motion through a crime scene while wearing sunglasses than Denzel Washington -- but even the great Denzel can't save Deja Vu.
The fleetingly satisfying Deja Vu is ultimately a self-fulfilling prophecy.
