it do not really look that way from the preview ( look more like a whodunit ) but it be . it like speed or the fugitive in that way and like run lola run in it structure . so if you like those film i would say it a safe bet for you . it also have a really great car chase scene and this be come from someone who usually doesn not get those . during that whole sequence all i could think be how do they choreograph that . because it have to be really precise . i mean the car be almost dance . you have a stellar ensemble cast here . forest whitaker play a witness to the event who get catch up in the whirlwind . i do not think i have even see him run before so this be a little different for him . matthew fox and dennis quaid play secret service men . i be surprised how little screen time fox have and if there be a star it dennis . i do not think it appear that way in the trailer either . but mainly the whole thing be split up between all these different character and their vantage point on this assassination attempt on the u president in spain . william hurt play the president and i be think i be go to write him in in november . he just look the part . sigourney weaver play a tv producer who be a witness a she produce the live coverage and for a minute i think we do not see her vantage point but her be the first one we watch . we be watch along with her and i do not realize we be already do the multiple point of view thing . they all culminate at about the same point and once we have see all of them the action continue from there into a perfect end . this film really get go right away and there be no time for a potty break . there isn not a lot of curse and just a couple word here or there and and not too scary violence so people who watch lose and 24 level action should be able to handle it . this be the sort of movie you use to only get in the summer .
