Vantage Point

2.5 STARS

This was an interesting idea. You watch the same 30 minutes like FIVE times. It's a little much, but I thought it was interesting. Then, the movie finishes off by slapping on an ending that pulls everything together.

Other than that, this is a pretty typical action movie. My favorite part was Forest Whitaker. I thought his character was excellent.

The ending is a bit forced... something that always bothers me. But if you're not bothered by such things, the ending does a magnificent job of tying everything back together.

This is a good escapist film. It's rated "PG-13" - I would assume it's for violence, explosions, and typical action movie stuff. As for sexual situations it was totally clean.

The replay was a little much and made the ending seem almost too sudden. It was a fun movie. Worth watching, but not repeatedly. More of an action movie than I'd anticipated. Great car chases.

This movie redeemed Dennis Quaid for me. I've never really liked him a lot. I felt that this movie stretched his abilities and showed that he could be a better actor.

Forrest Whitaker was great even in such a small role. I might even say that he was the best part of the movie.
