Vantage Point

i saw a couple of negative reviews of this film around the net, but i never care about those reviews, like, come on, most of the critics said that John Rambo sucks, but on the other hand, a lot of viewers... Full review

The acting is not what this movie is about, not even close. The cast is good, but the plot does not allow you to get close to the actual characters here, but this conspiracy puzzle makes this movie fascinating! This movie... Full review

As seen in the trailer, this movie is about a plot to kill the president but told throught the eyes of all the major players involved (both the good guys and the bad guys). I thought the story was good for... Full review

The president has been shot, oh my god what shall we do. Well lets take a look at it from 8 points of view as if we the audience didn't see it the first time. Vantage Point comes along with probably... Full review

One crime, multiple vantage points. Sounds cool right? Yes. But "Vantage Point" never really pulls it off quite how it sets itself up to. The result is a cool action flick with some clever storytelling that sort of fizzles in... Full review

I do not want to be a spoiler so I will not say much about the plot. I will say that the movie was better than I thought it was going to be. Yes there are some oints that are stretched... Full review

I thought this film was excellent! I heard some people complaining and saw some of the complaints here on IMDb, but this film is genius. Of course it shows the same scene over and over- that is the entire premise... Full review

What can I say? This film is a gimmick film that relates the same event through the eyes of eight different characters that each hold a piece of the puzzle. The film stops and rewinds back to 20 minutes before... Full review

Vantage Point comports itself with time-honored, industry established, traditional camerawork and editing. Vantage Point , in the hands of Bourne s crew, would have been the most harrowing, edge-of-your-seat, thrill ride of the year. ... Full Review

Vantage Point is one of the movies that I've been looking most forward to, and ultimately, it fell short of my hopes. Narrowing down the views to the two or three main views would have made this movie so much less of a letdown. ... Full Review

What you get from "Vantage Point" is a lot of vigorous actors -- Dennis Quaid, William Hurt, Forest Whitaker, et al. -- doing vigorous work in the service of a crafty, fast-moving, well-told story.

Non-conventional up to the point where it switches to a more straightforward manner of storytelling, "Vantage Point" starts off strong before veering dramatically off the rails. The cast - an embarassment of riches for sure - are at a loss to make "Vantage Point" any more valuable. ... Full Review

The first 15 minutes of Vantage Point are the worst. Indeed, since so much of the film is wasted re-establishing events we've already seen transpire (albeit from differing angles), there's little to think about other than the gaffes in common sense. ... Full Review

It often occurs to me that we, the cinema-going audience who pay through our teeth to watch what more often than not disappoints us, are continually being short-changed by the process of marketing the films we see. ... Full Article
