Not as good as expected. Plotline was very confusing and ending was inconculsive. entire movie was climatic, there were no ups and downs.

The storyline for this movie is great in many ways. It has the U.S presedent's fake assassination which you have to piece together that ultimatly leads to an awesome climatic ending. They could have told told us more in the beginning and not repeated as much info in the flashback but that's fine. The mystery surronding the movie and the assassination keeps the story from becoming one boring flashback after another. The acting was great all round in keeping up the deception and mystery. They did a great job keeping the shock of the assasination realistic and not fake looking. The whole point of a movie with mostly flashbacks is great. They made the flashbacks look different using visuals and that also made it great. The car chase scene is good, but it isn't Bond or Bourne worthy. One of the mess-ups in this movie is the body double. He doesn't even look like the presedent. Anyone could tell. Also, sucurity at a convention like that would have been way better than that. Some parts like that were just too unrealistic.

Vantage Point is very much like your typical episode of '24'. Tied together with non-stop action, suspense and an amazingly written story that twists, turns, jumps and rewinds at every point, Vantage Point is an instant hit that, in essence,...

Vantage Point is very much like your typical episode of '24'. Tied together with non-stop action, suspense and an amazingly written story that twists, turns, jumps and rewinds at every point, Vantage Point is an instant hit that, in essence, really dosen't last any longer than an hour.

Vantage Point is more of a puzzle than an actual film. This "puzzle" stars Dennis Quaid, Matthew Fox, Forrest Whitalker, William Hurt, and Sigourney Weaver, and none of these great actors were able to save this movie. At about the 5th...

Vantage Point is more of a puzzle than an actual film. This "puzzle" stars Dennis Quaid, Matthew Fox, Forrest Whitalker, William Hurt, and Sigourney Weaver, and none of these great actors were able to save this movie. At about the 5th rewind I was checked out. It is all then tied together by an amzingly lurid car chase which never ends and a ridiculus finale. There were many turns but by the time it got to that I already lost my interest. Vantage Point is a very silly and ridiculus peice of crap, that's right, crap. And those of you who decide to disagree with me, just remember we had to sit through the same thing 9 times. When the president is set to make a speech on world peace in Spain Dennis Quaid, who plays a demented agent who notices a flicker in a window. After he alerts his partner, played by Mathew Fox from the best show ever Lost, they start to suspect someone is trying to assassinate the president, played by William Hurt. Well they were right, a huge explosion happens about ten times in rewinds and the president is shot, or is it the president? It would be one thing if the rewinds actually gave us more insight into the mystery, but besides only of them, we're just stuck watching the same thing over and over again. By the time it actually got to something revealing, my interest for the movie had diminished and I just wanted to get out of my seat and go. The screenplay here is one of the most ridiculous all year, and the car chase at the end was wildly unbelievable. Skip this at the theaters and don't look for it on DVD.
