  Not to be missed
  
  Enjoyable. Good acting. I would watch this film again. Dennis Quaid is brilliant as usual, but he is always good in this type of role.

  Good film
  
  Liked this - dont usually like flashback type films but this was different and Dennis Quaid/Forest Whitaker were great. Good story and twist at the ends,

  Not for those who enjoy only the missionary position!
  
  I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. It was not a straight forward old school action movie, but well thought and produced!

  Vantage Point...what's the point?
  
  Dull boring, smart ass whodunnit style movie. A waste of good actors. What was it all about? Who cares. Totally pointless. Don't waste your rental.
