He directs in a no-frills manner, keeping things moving and injecting a fair amount of suspense. Déjà Vu is the product of the "good" Scott. The director is Tony Scott, whose resume is so maddeningly inconsistent that it makes one wonder whether there are two men working under the same name. Were he alive, Carl Sagan might not be impressed but, in terms of allowing audiences to do more than gaze slack-jawed at the screen, this is light years ahead of anything Bruckheimer has previously attempted. It allows the viewer to toy with them in his/her mind, then gives an unambiguous interpretation. If you go back in time, can you alter events or do you become part of them? Part of Déjà Vu's enjoyment is that, while it doesn't ignore the paradoxes, it doesn't overthink them, either. Of course, with time travel come time travel paradoxes. Something like Minority Report is a science fiction thriller Déjà Vu is more a straightforward thriller that uses time travel as a device. I hesitate to call it science fiction, because there's little science to go along with the fiction (although the movie makes a game try to incorporate a few Einstein-based concepts into the screenplay). In fact, one could argue that the movie features one of the most original car chase sequences ever committed to celluloid. Déjà Vu contains its share of action, but it comes later in the film. Déjà Vu, the new thriller from Bruckheimer and director Tony Scott, impresses with both the complexity of its storyline and its willingness to allow things to develop at their own pace without interjecting a lot of needless action scenes into the early proceedings to keep viewers attentive. Wedding the phrase "Jerry Bruckheimer production" with the words "intelligent screenplay" might seem to be an unimaginable mismatch, but it has happened.
