Timothy C. @tim821 17h The acting was excellent with a remarkable cast. The movie was riveting. The rewinding effect with the view point of various characters, a Rashomon like effect, I thought might be tiresome but not so in my opinion. I feel that this movie has been unfairly maligned. It is entertaining with interesting plot twists. It definitely is worth viewing.

I'm keeping it now in 2025 for my collection but saw it in the theatre and enjoyed it then. The concept of it has been done in a few other movies- I wouldn't say over done nor would I say the movie style detracts in any way. I'm puzzled by the lack of love.

See more Jace E @thefilmguy 09/16/2024 I absolutely love the idea of Vantage Point. I am fascinated by the idea of the same story told through different points of view, all culminating in an "aha moment" where the terrorist plot is revealed. Unfortunately, this movie does not deliver on that promise. The plot is intensely convoluted and jam-packed into the 90 minute runtime. We spend way too much time with some characters, not enough time with others and many plot points are either pointless or left unfinished. The character depth is non-existent and I left wondering why the movie needed to be told from different vantage points (sadly). I would love to see what a strong writing team and director could do with this concept, because on its surface it is intriguing. Best Character: Howard Best Quote: "The beauty of American arrogance is that they can't imagine a world where they're not a step ahead." - Suarez Best Scene: The first jump back to the beginning. Note: Forest Whitaker is the only strong actor of the bunch and I loved his scenes. Note 2: Hearing Dennis Quaid shout in his hand for "Control!" over and over again was particularly irksome.
