Great Bad Movies

Deja Vu


Listen Later

This week, a love letter to Tony Scott’s patriotic, time-twisting thriller Déjà Vu. Denzel Washington stars as ATF agent Doug Carlin, who investigates a New Orleans ferry explosion—and stumbles into a government surveillance program that somehow also doubles as a time machine with excellent satellite coverage.


It’s part detective story, part love story, 100 percent Tony Scott energy: orange filters, low flying helicopters, Val Kilmer squinting, and an SUV that literally drives into the past.


Greg and Joe learn something about themselves along the way.
