Vantage Point (2008)
description written by member Zara:
Moments after he arrives in Spain for a landmark antiterrorism summit, U.S. President Ashton is shot. The 15 minutes leading up to the shooting are rehashed -- Rashomon-style -- from the perspective of various onlookers: two Secret Service agents (Dennis Quaid and Matthew Fox), a TV reporter (Sigourney Weaver) and a tourist (Forest Whitaker). This nail-biting political thriller marks the feature directorial debut of Pete Travis.

However, when there's nothing more going on than a relatively simple event that ends in a traditional car chase, what you get in Vantage Point is a...

Whew! This has to be the most exciting film I have seen this year. The heart-stopping action doesn't stop and you are sitting on the edge of you seat wondering what is happening.
This is actually the same story - the same 15 minutes - told from the perspective of different people. Just when you think you may know what is...
