We went to see Vantage Point this weekend. I was in the mood to watch a movie, but I have been disappointed in the selection of movies lately. That is the nature of the movie business this time of year. I had heard some poor reviews for this movie, so I wasn't expecting a lot. I think that was the best way to approach this movie, because I didn't hate the film.
The way they told the story in this film was by showing the events of the President being shot from different Vantage Points. We saw it from the Secret Service, tv news, tourist, locals, and terrorist perspectives. I think they showed it from at least 6 different Vantage Points, which after a while, got old. You are ready for them to move the movie forward after the fourth Vantage Point. Once the movie does move forward though, I was ready to see where it was going. There were a few twists in the story which were nice to see. All in all, it wasn't a bad movie. I suggest renting it rather than paying to see it in a theater.
I guess this should be a lesson to everyone... lower your expectations and you might enjoy more movies :)
