a others have suggest and vantage point wud be a gud return on your money if you go to see a thriller with action sequence and blast and car chase and a lot of shatter glass . vantage point be a story of an assassination attempt on u president from 8 different viewpoint and each reveal something new about the event . this repetitive nature of the plot get frustrate after a while . the concept work for run lola run but a thriller like vantage point be suppose to go forward not rewind itself 8 time . if u be in the theater to enjoy a thriller and not bother about the plot and well n gud and you would come out a lot happier . but if you expect anything more then the loose storyline would really disappoint you . the writer have a lot of explain to do . if any of the people responsible for a u president security would have watch this movie then the writer be in a real soup . just 7 guy guard the presidential suit and with outsider have access to the hotel and a local guy work a bell boy ( who easily sneak in gun and explosives into the hotel ) and a single guy wipe out each of the agent ( even rambo would hv have a hard time at that ) . at the venue where the president get shoot the bad guy be able to sneak in a remote control fan and gun right under the nose of the secret service . then no one bother to explain why gud guy be blackmail to assist the plot when the same thing would have be easy with dedicated bad guy and the role of the rouge camera man and role of the rouge secret service guy and he risk his life just to retrieve the gun ( i do not think the bad guy be that press on fund that they need to retrieve the assassination weapon ) and massive car chase on 2 lane street and at time even go the wrong way and colossal explosion spar the life of just the important member of the cast . well all in all a very mediocre thriller .
