Vantage Point User Reviews

This mess was "In the Line of Fire" meets "Groundhogs Day"and it failed to work on either level. How many times can we see William Hurt being hurt? How real is it when the murderers after killings and maiming dozens, perhaps hundreds, swerve their van just to avoid hitting a little girl and by so doing put their master plan into jepordy?? This was just a fat payday for some big name actors, nothing more and a good deal less.

The first 50-60 minutes are interesting, if only to see the same scene played out from the differing perspectives. But the final plot twist destroys what might have been an OK movie, at best. A lot of talent goes to waste in small roles that could have been filled by others for less and, perhaps with greater effect (Sigourney Weaver's role, for example, didn't require someone of her talents; her presence raises expectations and then knocks the pins out from under them when she quickly disappears from the screen.)Wait for the DVD and then wait for a night when you can't sleep and there's nothing on cable.P.S. For those who think the use of various perspectives and re-runs of the same event from those perspectives is new, it's not. See, for example, Rashomonhttp://imdb.com/title/tt0042876/

I really enjoyed this movie. Not sure why the critics gave it such a bad rating. It kept you guessing and on your seats waiting to see what was going to happen next. It was irritating at first when 12pm kept starting over but after some time into the movie you finally realize who they all connected from the different points of view.

awsome film if you can understand the concept, personaly I thought the name "vantage point" explained that multiple view was implied, but most that watched the movie were very confused.... I loved it!

While the concept of seeing an event from different points of view is an interesting one, the execution of it is not. This has to be the worst movie I have seen this year. The paper thin plot has nothing to do with reality. Dennis Quad's character must be from Krypton. Nothing seems to injure him. Forrest Whitaker is wasted in this movie. He won an Oscar and should be in movies that actually make sense. Instead he is stuck in this lame movie.Do not waste your money on this movie. If you believe what is going on in the movie, I have a nice bridge to sell you.

Best action thriller since pic since Borne Ultimatum, was very entertaining. If your 16 and have "ADD" then you may not be able to follow the story and surely will complain that it doesn't make sense and whatever. Otherwise if your attention span is longer than 10 minutes then see this movie, its presented differently than anything you've seen before, keeps you guessing the whole way through, realistic action sequences keep you on edge, I say its worth the money.

This moving is definitely a movie to see. It's intense through out the whole movie and leaves you waiting to find out what really happens. it's a great movie and must be seen.

Its a very good movie it was full of action and it made me wondering what woudl happen next!Was very good!
