Several days ago i went to MBO cinema with my folks to watch Vantage Point. After seeing the movie, all my friends gave a very good comments and compliments to this film. It was so exciting and bring us up to the climax at the very precise moment. Therefore i give 5 stars rating for this movie based on the vantage point of mine. Hehe..Vantage Point talks about the assassination of the President of United States by a team of terrorists. But this movie is delivered to all audiences in a new kind of approach, where the director put in total of eight strangers and eight different points of view in order to solve the truth. However, the truth will only be unveiled once all eight key person's view and memory be combined together. So make sure you watched every point of view of each key person and understood it before you make any assumption on the assassination.
Starring Dennis Quaid as Thomas Barnes, Matthew Fox as Kent Taylor, and Forest Whitaker as Howard Lewis these 3 Hollywood star as main characters. This movie is scened using Spain as background, where an Anti-terrorist Summit is held between United States, Spain and several other country. Barnes, who is Secret Service Agent to protect the President, who once ago took a bullet for the President, is again assigned to protect Mr President; Taylor, who's also a Secret Service Agent, in the end turned out to be a terrorist who has been taking cover and wait for a chance to kidnap President and make his group of terrorist success in their plan.; Lewis, who is just a American tourist, thought he captured the shooter on his Sony HDV camcoder while videotaping the summit function. Other than the three of them, there are other stories tell by other key person which you will need to consider, it is not for catching the shooter or the terrorist, but for you to figure out how actually the shooter can shoot the fake President at the Summit, the tricks terrorist uses, and how they eventually they figure out from the beginning that the President they shot is a fake and kidnapped the real President so easily.
You might find it bored at the beginning of the movie, because it needs to introduce each point of view of each key person. Ya!! Which means you will kept seeing the same opening scene on how the President arrived at the Summit, how President is shot, how the Agents tried to protect and catch the shooter. This, has made and triggered much of laughters inside the cinema. However, soon the movie's plot will enter the beginning of the climax when Barnes found out that his partner, Taylor, who Barnes trusted, is related to terrorist, or worst, a terrorist! Hot pursuit between Barnes and Taylor soon initiated, there start the real climax of the movie. Lots of hot actions will hit on you as wave by wave of excitements in a very long interval and very fast pace. I guess until here i share the story with you, as i said, watch the movie yourself is a better way to prove that this movie worth your ticket price. ^_^
One thing that do stunned me is the technology knowledge terrorist uses. The chief terrorist can switch ON a table fan via cell phone connection. Most impressively is, he can use his cell phone (or PDA phone) to take aim on the fake President (with the aiming point visualize on his PDA phone) and trigger the machine gun without any difficulty. Impressive!
Well, until here i will share my experience with you about the review of the Vantage Point. You're lucky IF you're as lucky as Barnes in the film, because you can then be a super hero and save anyone you love or you treasure the most without failure. Well, dream about it...
