![]() First up, there’s The Surveillance Window. There are quite a few bonus features included on the DVD. From the destroyed neighborhoods to the French Quarter, Scott makes it all look fantastic. This was one of the first films to shoot in New Orleans after Katrina and Tony Scott certainly takes advantage of the scenic locations. The same goes for James Caviezel, Adam Goldberg, and Bruce Greenwood. It’s fun to see Val Kilmer again as Agent Andrew Pryzwarra, but he’s also relegated to an almost cameo role. Paula Patton is good as his love interest Claire Kuchever, but she’s not really a factor in the story till the end. He gets the best lines and he gets to be the hero. The cast is all very good, but as you might expect, Denzel Washington steals the show as Doug Carlin. It provides a satisfying ending, but it loses the unique feeling of the middle part of the story. But as the film progresses, it eventually deviates from its unique “time window” premise and falls into your standard action film and time travel film premise. ![]() While the premise does require quite a bit of suspension of disbelief, it is definitely unique. This time window allows the character to look at locations before crimes take place, follow suspects in the past, and other cool stuff. It’s a very unique twist on the whole time travel genre which, it seems, had been done to death. The government has a window that allows them to look four and a half days into the past within a certain area. It then dramatically shifts gears and turns into a time travel film. It starts out as your typical crime drama where a team of federal agents and crime scene investigators look into a terrorist bombing. “Déjà Vu” is kind of an episode of “CSI” with a sci-fi twist. “Déjà Vu” is rated PG-13 for intense sequences of violence and terror, disturbing images and some sensuality. But can it help Carlin change the past? Hold on to your seat for an explosive and intriguing thrill ride you’ll want to experience again and again.” Called in to recover evidence in the aftermath of a horrific explosion on a New Orleans ferry, Federal agent Doug Carlin (Washington) gets pulled away from the scene and taken to a top-secret government lab that uses a time-shifting surveillance device to help prevent crime. They have transportation that can be used to travel from different areas of the resort.“Academy Award® winner Denzel Washington (Best Actor, ‘Training Day,’ 2001) joins forces with blockbuster producer Jerry Bruckheimer and mega-hit director Tony Scott for ‘Déjà Vu’ the powerful, fast-paced action-thriller with a spectacular mind-bending twist. The resort also has its own mini shopping mall. They also have nightly entertainment with live music. They have different themes for dinner which is fun. There is plenty of leisure activity to do. In the end I would recommend this resort. It’s been 5 days and we have yet to hear from them. We were advised we would be contacted within 72 hours. We had a personal situation that was brought up to the resort which required an investigation. They may need to upgrade on the sweeping and mopping because we found spots that were still wet and had dirt. It didn’t seem like they ever placed bags in them. Some trash cans did not have trash bags and they were disgusting and filthy. I’m not sure if housekeeping actually changed our bed linens because we found hairs on it at one point. ![]() Overall the resort was excellent!! But just like anything in life, it was not perfect. So yes, book it but stay informed on the included amenities you are paying for as you don’t want to miss out! We will definitely return one day in the future!! They have transportation that can be used to travel from different areas of the resort.
