Watch Vantage Point For Free

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Sorry, this movie sucks

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

This movie about an attempt on the President, asks the audience to suspend just too much disbelief in telling it's story. Plus it's clunky and has plot holes large enough to drive a truck through.

Vantage Point is not something you watch everyday, the plot is unusual and unoriginal, the only movie with a similar story line is "Snake Eyes" (also another great film).Vantage Point is easy to understand, it shows the views of the main characters and their perspectives of the situation, it also has a twist that you don't see coming.Vantage Point is an action thriller that delivers on both genres, the thriller aspect is trying to find out what happened and the action aspect are the high speed car chases.Great performances from Sigourney Weaver, Dennis Quaid, Forest Whitaker, Matthew Fox and the supporting cast, great directing from Pete Travis, and perfect editing from Stuart Baird, the movie is paced perfectly, there's no scenes that are unnecessary.

What a waste of great acting talent. I just watched it on TV and how glad I am I watched it on cable and didn't have to pay to see this movie. So what do you get? Action? Yes. Car chases: definitely. Original filming: I can appreciate the attempt. Good acting: Always Love Forest Whitaker. 4 points. What was missing? Credibility: 2 bombs passing security, cars hitting walls without airbags opening up, infiltration, people dying on one bullet while other ones keep going and a President that is kidnapped and not assassinated for whatever reason. President is saved, everybody happy. If you have seen Man on Fire then you know why this is such a bad movie. There have been films review-slaughtered who where much and much better then this one. So if you want a brainless action movie, go ahead - but there are much better movies in this category. If you want nothing but pure car chases: go rent the Fast and the Furious. Nice try. No Cigar.

US President Henry Ashton (William Hurt) is in Salamanca, Spain , accompanied by his security agents (Matthew Fox and Dennis Quaid as agent newly returned from previous wounds) , for a world summit where an international treaty dealing with the fight against global terrorism will be signed and which was highly promoted by the USA . Then an unknown sniper is able to shoot him and a bomb goes off in the square and it causes panic , destruction , mass confusion and hysteria . Meanwhile , TV Executive Rex Brooks (Sigourney Weaver whose role was originally written as a male but filmmaker changed it to a woman because he felt the movie lacked a strong female character) is shooting the surprising deeds . The attempted assassination of the American President is told and re-told from several different perspectives , as from a tourist (in the original screenplay, the tourist was a Russian , as when Forest Whitaker auditioned for a different role, filmmaker was so impressed that he rewrote as an American tourist) or a Spanish police (Eduardo Noriega) o terrorists (Edgar Ramirez ,Saïd Taghmaoui , Ayelet Zurer) and fourth is the president himself . At the end new vantage point is shown revealing additional details, which definitively completes the flick of what really took place during the incident and who was involved in the conspiracy.Stirring as well as exciting film packs noisy action , thrills , suspense , explosions , violence , twits and turns . Thrilling film with a peculiar edition narrated under several sight points , as various minutes are retold, emphasizing different characters' actions and gradually, we discover who's behind the script . The studio originally wanted to shoot the entire film in Salamanca, Spain, but the local government refused to close the Plaza Mayor for nearly 3 months and only the scenes filmed from the air were shot in Spain , as production was moved to Cuernavaca and Puebla, Mexico . Nevertheless , Matthew Fox, Eduardo Noriega, Forest Whitaker and director Pete Travis attended the premiere, held in Salamanca, Spain, on February 12, 2008 and City Hall declared them "Distinguished Guests". The original script set the story in Madrid, but the producers wanted a more "exotic" location. The fact is revealed in some scenes, like the secret service guy who says they can't locate a single person among "5 or 6 million" (Madrid's population; Salamanca's is much smaller), or when the cop enters a Muslim neighborhood during the foot chase , as Madrid has one, but Salamanca doesn't . Very good production design by Brigitte Boch , when shooting was moved to Mexico, the production design team built a replica of Salamanca's Plaza Mayor, which is slightly smaller than the original . There happens an impressive explosion on the Plaza , it was filmed by fifteen different cameras under direction of excellent photographer Amir Mokri who makes a colorful and evocative cinematography . Moving and adequate Original Music by Atli Örvarsson . The motion picture was compellingly directed by Pete Travis . He is a director and writer, known for Dredd (2012) , Omagh (2004) , End game (2008) , TV Henry VIII (2003) and Falcón (TV Series) 2012 , set in Sevilla , Spain . The precocious technical mastery displayed by Peter Travis in ¨Vantage Point¨ is magnificent and he delivers narrative fluidity , being helped by a splendid editor , Stuart Baird , both of whom carry out a complex story paced from multiple viewpoints . Rating : 7 . Interesting action film and it will appeal to thriller fans .
