Vantage Point Details

Don't Bother!

Absolutely dreadful. I was conned into this by the trailer which made it look original, interesting, clever, and full of imaginative twists. Unfortunately it's a cheap and unintentionally comical parody of the Hollywood blockbuster with all the usual clichés, car chases and happy endings. All the goodies survive car crashes, being shot, blown up, while the baddies get what's coming to them. By the fifth 'vantage point' (the same scene being repeated again and again and again and again from a different points of view) I was ready to shoot myself. But being boring is its best point, other than that, it panders to American patriotism and arrogance with a lazy and ridiculously unbelievable script and laughable symbolism. Forest Whitaker made a mistake agreeing to this. Should have gone straight to TV.

OK

Not as good as the hype led you to believe it would be and the split-screen effect makes it hard to follow in places, which is a bad thing as you really have to pay constant attention to everything thats going on to be able to grasp the concept.

I wouldn't recommend it and wouldn't watch it again
