In my opinion, Vantage Point is an artisticly made movie. Reminds me of Run Lolla Run, but this blockbuster revolves around just 10 minutes of intense action.
What is Vantage Point about? It’s not about the plot to assasinate the President of USA nor is it about terrorism. It’s about self-sacrifice! Yea right…
Actually the whole movie shows you different viewpoints of a single event. Moral of the story: things are not always what they seem to be.
There are about seven vantage points to this event; all from key individuals involved in it. At first glance, it seems as if the Spanish policeman’s girlfriend is having an affair… the Spanish local is being friendly to the black dude… the President of America is shot…
On the whole, I think they movie was cleverly shot to create suspense and a sense of anticipation.
Viewers who do not give a thought to what they’re watching and expect to be idiotically entertained may be annoyed at the repetition of several scenes, especially the beginning of the event.
But if they use their brain a little and try to appreciate the artistry and message of the movie, they might just enjoy it.
