Vantage Point

Directed by Pete Travis (this is his silver screen debut), starring William Hurt, Dennis Quaid, Forest Whitaker and Matthew Fox.

The President of the US visited Spain for a summit. He was accompanied by two Secret Service agents, and one of them (Quaid) once took a bullet for him and this event was his comeback job. The film was told from eight different points of view, eight different people who were there during the event.

I liked the idea, the way it used eight different perspectives and although I can't say that it's good,it certainly was entertaining. Full of suspense and sure could keep you at the edge of your seat the whole time. It's an action movie so it's understandable that the characters weren't shown deep enough.. I liked William Hurt and Dennis Quaid's performances best. Matthew Fox was rather meh. The story was very brief and the performances weren't really rich, but it could absolutely keep you glued to the screen. Good action movie, very nice pick for a night out.

7 / 10.
