Vantage Point

This is actually a very fascinating take on a film. It is about a 15 minute sequence of events which is told through a variety of characters and from several different points of view until the entire thing is woven together and brought to the point where you can see the whole thing and what’s really going on.
We follow some very amazing actors, too as the event unfolds as an attempted assassination of the president (William Hurt, Lost in Space) who is being protected by a secret serviceman (Dennis Quaid, The Rookie) and there’s a young father with a video camera (Forest Whitaker, The Last King of Scotland) and a lot of other people involved.
That’s really all I can say, we watch this assassination 4 or 5 times and pretty soon you piece it all together, it’s slightly predictable, but very good in it’s execution, and that’s generally what matters with films, is the execution.

Not a while lot to say, 2.
