Vantage point -review

Recently i saw this film on HBO, its a Pete Travis film, “Vantage Point” hit number one in it’s first week in theaters. The film is not great, but is worth checking out. The idea behind the film is creative, I give it that much. The film opens with a typical “the President has been shot’ scene. After showing this scene the movie then travels back into time 23 minutes. The film then shows the 23 minutes leading up to the shooting from several different vantage points. While in essence this was a good idea, the viewer will easily get confused and probably a little bored with the repetition.The movie does redeem itself when learn of a surprising twist with the President.I won’t reveal the surprise in my review, but just keep in mind that everything is not as it seems with the President.Overall “Vanatage Point” is full of shooting and bombing, a typical car chase and some drama at the end. If you like actions or thrillers then you should check this one out. Expect something you haven’t seen before.
