stop remaking the classics! A mediocre drama that does yet another spin of Akira Kurosawa's Rashomonidea. Vantage Point not only fails miserably, but it becomes melodramatic, formulaic, with a traditional Hollywood happy ending. What a strong political statement this movie could've made; what a bore it was instead!
I LOVED THIS MOVIE!!!!! When I first saw the previews I thought WOW that looks like it's going to be another over the top, stupid movie!!! I saw the previews again it sparked my interest slightly, and being that I like Dennis Quaid and Forrest Whitaker I figured I might as well just give in and watch it.
When the movie kept rewinded and going back to each individuals story, at first it was kind of annoying, but then I started to like it more, and more, it was so intense, so action-packed, you never know what's coming next, you feel happy, sad, confused, terrified, and then boom the relief comes and it's all over. It was such an adrenaline rush, but the best part about this movie was something you don't see in most movies. Vantage Point takes a turn for good with it's powerful message by depicting that even with all that's going on in our world, there still is a chance that somebody who is a firm believer in all that is right can step up and change everything for the better.
Pay attention from the start Got this movie for my husband's birthday. He loved it. He started explaining to me that 8 people saw what happened, and each has a different slant on it. He said at first he thought he would be watching the same thing over and over but it kept changing on him. He is really pleased with this movie, keeps you on your toes.
Dishonest free shipping feature I find your free shipping policy for purchases over $25 to be dishonest. It should automatically be applied when a given purchase reaches $25. The method of claiming it is obscure.

Multi-layered, multi-angle suspense thriller This inventive, tense thriller plays out several situations from multiple viewpoints. If that sounds dull or repetitive, it isn't - this is a gripping and well made film, well recommended.
