Dahil sa paborito ng asawa ko si Denzel Washington:

Napakagandang pelikula! Panooring nyo.

Déjà vu. You know! That flash of memory when you meet someone new you feel you've known all your life or recognize a place even though you've never been there before.

Eto'y tungkol sa isang ATF Agent na si Doug Carlin (Denzel Washington) na inembetahang maging parte sa isang bombing incident na kumitil ng mahigit limang-daang tao sakay ng isang ferry boat sa okasyong ginanap ang fairy party para mga bagong gradweyt na navy officers. A shattering crime. Those men, women and children - families were burned alive during that dreadful day when a car bomb was set-off by a ill-minded false-patriot who were refused entry into military.

He was called in to recover evidence after a bomb sets off a cataclysmic explosion on a New Orleans Ferry, Carlin is about to discover that what most people believe "is only in their heads" is actually something far more powerful--and will lead him on a mind-bending race to save hundreds of innocent people. Ang parte nya sa hi-tech time machine investigation na ito ay naghatid sa kanya upang mapaibig sa isang bachelorette na naging biktima sa crimeng ito. It turned out that the government program was successful ending into a swamp chase of the criminal until his capture. The program was to be ended after the crime's been done and the criminal captured.

Pero hindi dun nagtapos ang istorya: Etong seksing chiks na babae na sinasabi kong biktima rito ay buhay pa four days ago at yaong napaka-hi tech na makinang ginagamit ng US federal agents ay pwede namang komontak sa ibayong oras - which is four days and few hours ago. While the program is to be shut off for the next case, there were few people inside, including O'Connor, wanting the program to become morally significant to life.

O'Connor, angry at the fate of the program, would now be engaging himself into putting himself into this machine to make actual contact with the people on the other side of time. Ang tagpog ito ay napakaThrilling at nail-biting sapgkat dito'y magkikitang buhay si O'Connor at ang babaeng minsan siyang saksi sa isang autopsy na oddly siya'y napaibig sa maamo, napakagandang mukha, helpless at kawawang mukha nito. Climax set into putting them altogether into a fast, furious and violent confrontation. Makikipagbakbakan pareho laban sa criminal na napaka-ilap at notoriously lopsided ang pagiisip at paniniwala. Ikaw ba naman itong mapalaban sa isang individual na may skill ng isang marine o navy seal. hehehe.

Bagaman napaka-desirable sa buhay ng tao ang maibalik o makapunta sa nakaraang mga pagganap, ang katotohanan ay tanging ang Diyos lamang ang may runong upang tingnan ang oras ng buhay mula sa simula tungo sa hinaharap. Siya lamang ang tanging may karapatan at may susi sa kung ano man ang dapat gawin dito. He's the only one who can pour time into the glass like wine for him or for us to savour. Sa isip ko, He do this all the time. He poured us a drop of it daily. It is then up to us to savour that moment and know the differences of those glasses we had previously tasted. It's one sip after another. Life is a business where the only currency of exchange is time to buy us only one goody in life - happines.
