Vantage Point

Director: Pete Travis

Genre:Action/ Adventure
Thomas Barnes (Dennis Quaid) and Kent Taylor (Mathew Fox) are two Secret Service agents assigned to protect President Ashton (William Hurt) at a landmark summit on the global war on terror.

When President Ashton is to make a speech about war on terror, he was shot. Chaos ensues and disparate lives collide in the hunt for the assassin. In the crowd is Howard Lewis (Forest Whitaker), an American tourist who thinks he had captured the shooter on his camcorder while videotaping the event for his kids back home. Also there, relaying the historic event to millions of TV viewers across the globe, is American TV news producer Rex Brooks (Sigourney Weaver). As they and others reveal their stories, the pieces of the puzzle will fall into place and it will become apparent that shocking motivations lurk just beneath the surface.

Watching the movie needs patience, if you lack of it, I would suggest you skip this. While watching this movie in Jurong Point GV last saturday, heard some people curse and swear when the camera takes you back to the same time, but showing what happened from a different person's aspect.

This show leave you in suspense when Thomas Barnes saw something on the video in the broadcasting room. I was actually quite frustrated on that scene, but I am happy somehow that I manage to uncover some plots myself :)

An intense and dramatic movie I would say. Watch it if you like cracking your brain while watching..ahead of the scenes and guess what happened in the end.
