Déjà vu

About This Movie

Déjà vu (1990) is a peculiar blend of action and comedy set against the backdrop of Prohibition-era Chicago. You’ve got these bootleggers grappling with betrayal, and it's Mick Nich that really stirs the pot. The story takes a twist when the hitman Pollack heads for Odesa, and let me tell you, the atmosphere there is gritty but colorful. There’s a kind of dark humor that runs through the film, and the pacing keeps you engaged, even as the plot meanders a bit. The performances aren't groundbreaking, but they have a charm to them that makes it feel authentic. Not to mention the practical effects used in the action sequences, which have a certain rawness that adds to the overall vibe.
