  "account": "Denzel Washington and Val Kilmer star in 2006's sci-fi time-travel film, Déjà Vu. The movie, rated 2.5/5 stars by Tom's Guide, attempts to explore the premise of traveling back in time, but only four-and-a-quarter days in the past, and moving forward in real-time. Despite its promising concept, Déjà Vu falls short of fully realizing this notion, leaving it polarizing among viewers. Starring Denzel as an ATF agent investigating a terrorist attack in New Orleans, the film falters in its execution, receiving a 55% fresh rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes. However, audiences were more forgiving, giving the movie a 73% rating. The film's streaming availability is limited, requiring purchase or rental.",
  "summary": "\"Déjà Vu\" is a twisted time-travel sci-fi movie that might be too convoluted for its own good. Read on to see if you should stream it.",
