Movie Review: Vantage Point
Title:Vantage Point (2008)
Rating:7/10

The film, Vantage Point, is about the attempted assassination of a US President. The plot is unveiled slowly by using a non-linear storytelling method that is engaging and fresh. Specifically, the same period of time (the time from about 5 minutes before to 4 minutes after the assassination attempt) is retold from several different vantage points... back to back to back. Each version of the story opens new aspects of the mystery until the final vantage point (from the point of view of the President) is given and the movie proceeds along ahead to the climax and conclusion. I enjoyed the movie very much (even if you overlook the plot similarities to Air Force One).

Summary: Recommended
