Vantage Point


MY VIEW: The cast was great! The directing was great! The storyline is just another story!! I'm really stretching it to give this movie a 5 on a scale of 1 -10, with 10 being outstanding!! The movie kept starting over and over giving you each players perspective on "what happen". I personally didn't like the way the movie ended either. I think it could have ended better. It wasn't a 'bad' movie but it's also one I don't think I'll watch again either. That's just MY view...
SYNOPSIS: The movie begins in a TV-news remote trailer in Salamanca, Spain, where the hassled, blinkered executive producer (Sigourney Weaver) is trying to steer live coverage of a peace summit toward bland bromides and away from the anti-U.S. demonstrations on the periphery of the event. Once the assassins' shots hit their human target and a large bomb disperses the crowd, the movie flashes back 23 mins. and starts all over again, in be-kind-rewind fashion, and we get the perspectives of President Ashton (William Hurt), two of his Secret Service bodyguards (Dennis Quaid and Matthew Fox), an American tourist bystander (Forest Whitaker) and a few of the terrorists as they develop their scheme and attempt their escape.
