Vantage Point (2008) 8/10

Starring : Dennis Quaid, Matthew Fox, Forest Whitaker, Bruce McGill, Edgar Ramirez, Sigourney Weaver, William Hurt
Director : Pete Travis
Running Time : 91 mins

When the American President (Hurt) is shot at a global peace summit, it becomes something of a mystery as to who was behind the shooting, and Special Agent Thomas Barnes (Quaid) finds himself facing a familiar situation to one he faced a few months earlier. Thankfully the audience are given eight perspectives on the shooting, some of them expected, others coming a little out of left field.

This was an interesting film, which unfortunately did get a little annoying when it kept flipping back to events we’d already scene. Thankfully the final half hour was pretty solid and gave us all the answers we needed to enjoy the film as a whole. I wouldn’t recommend this to people who found themselves confused during such films as Groundhog Day, but I would recommend giving it a go.
