Re: Deja Vu
So who was the fifth chauffeur? I better go check the deleted scenes. My guess is that it would be the bearded technician (shaved), but, could be anyone I imagine...

Re: Deja Vu
okay, i just watched this for the first time tonight and i thought most of the movie was totally gripping. i bought into the premise and it just worked for me. maybe this is totally out there but did anyone think that
Warning Spoiler! Click to showjim caviezel's character was a time traveller from the future? his melodramatic speeches are either your run of the mill wanna-be psycho villian talk or someone who seems to know the score about the time travel thing. it's a stretch but i thought that maybe the use of "Snow White", in the movie's reality, spreads and eventually leads to a pandora's box situation in the future, and Caviezel's character is from that future and he's travelled back. also there was the scene where Denzel had the "time helmet" on and Caviezel was looking right at him.
... anyways, that sounded much better in my head than on screen

also
Warning Spoiler! Click to showthe movie wants you to think that Denzel's character "really didn't change anything" when they're on the ferry near the end and the bomb is ticking away, but way back when Denzel smashes into the shack and the girl's fingers don't get cut off, and she doesn't die hours before the blast, time has already changed; they're already on a time tangent.
"now, if that's a fact, tell me... am i lying?"

Re: Deja Vu
I never got the sense that Jim's character was a time travler, the way the film sets him up he came across to me as just another nutcase with a grudge against the government because he was dishonerably discharged and was both bitter and crazy.
