Pros: Good cast. Interesting idea for the plot.
Cons: Most of the cast underused. Execution of the plot didn't work well overall.
I thought that the previews for Vantage Point made it look like an interesting movie. It did have a somewhat unique idea for the plot, but I don't feel like the execution of that idea really worked. I am only going to mention a ...

Pros: Great acting, lots of action, interesting concept.
Cons: Stretches believability to the furthest point.
I would like to start by saying that I have been waiting patiently for this movie to debut. The previews for this film captivated my interest. This film was great on the big screen and should translate okay to DVD. So, how did this movie stack up to ...

Pros: A good action film
Cons: Nothing else matches the action
The eyes of the world are on Salamanca, Spain, as the United States leads a parade of nations who have put their names to an anti-terrorism pact. Its chief proponent, U. S. President Henry Ashton (William Hurt), is about to give a speech about this ...

Pros: Great (if overdone) action scenes, interesting concept, some good acting (Quaid)
Cons: Unrealistic, under-utilization of some actors and little character development
For some reason, although this movie was not released until today, February 22, 2008, it appears only in the "DVD/VHS" database for Epinions rather than "In Theaters". I had seen the trailers for the film for several months and noted the outstanding ...

Pros: great cast, lots of good action, original presentation
Cons: not an original plot
A terrorist attack on Americans. An attempt on the life of the President. Yes, we have seen it before, but the intent of the new film Vantage Point was to present a re-hashed story in a unique fashion. To do that, one event is experienced by 8 ...

Pros: Consistent story telling, acting by several of the principles
Cons: Only a so-so plot and every frame that has Dennis Quaid in it
Vantage Point is an easy to follow nonlinear story. The US president arrives in Salamanca, Spain to kick off an international conference on terrorism. Just as he makes it to the podium to speak, he is shot. Chaos ...

Pros: Captivating thriller
Cons: Unique premise doesn't quite work out
Vantage Point is a thriller with an unique concept. It tells one story from multiple points of view. It takes all those view points to give us the complete picture. While there are some flaws in the execution, it really works well. The ...

Pros: Interesting concept, very fast-paced
Cons: Lot of plot holes
Vantage Point is an interesting movie with an interesting premise that, despite an all-star cast, is so full of plot holes that it brings the whole thing down. Even so, it’s still a pretty original movie that has enough entertainment quality ...

by t13monkeys in Movies, - Top 500, Apr 16 '08
Pros: multiple perspectives storytelling, Dennis Quaid, good action sequences
Cons: shallow plot, lack of character development, ending is kind of a letdown
If 24 were a movie, then Vantage Point would be it. Substitute Jack Bauer with Thomas Barnes (Dennis Quaid), have him play a Secret Service with a duty to protect the president of the United States, throw in some international terrorists and tell the ...

Pros: *Interesting premise
*Exciting
*Intense
Cons: *Shakey filming and repeat of same scene gets old
I love going to the movies on the weekend and seeing all kinds of different movies. The one that I saw today was very different, and yet I liked it too. Vantage Point was a bit like Groundhog Day on steroids! We kept seeing the same ...

Pros: solid performances, decent direction
Cons: the gimmick of going back to the same story gets old by the eighth time
Vantage Point is a political suspense thriller about a single event from as many as eight different angles. The president of the United States (William Hurt) is in Spain for an international summit on terrorism. He's expected to make an historic ...

by vemartin - Top 50, Apr 15 '08
Pros: Great acting by all concerned.
Cons: Too many plot holes; somewhat predictable.
A really intelligent movie is getting hard and harder to find in Hollywood’s modern day repertoire. There was a time when that was practically all Tinseltown produced, but somewhere along our journey into the 21st century, movies have gotten ...

Pros: …
Cons: …
It’s funny how some things have a way of exploding on you. Take a counterterrorism conference. The President of the United States is in Spain, about to address a crowd, when he gets shot several times. Then, several explosions go off, killing and ...

Pros: Good action and an interesting plot device.
Cons: Plot holes and no replay value.
The opening scene of Vantage Point is very indicative of the remainder of the movie. In the opening scene a young female reporter is reporting from the site of a peace summit in Salamanca, Spain and she begins to describe the civil unrest of the ...

by kirbylee , Jul 01 '08
Pros: A thriller that lives up to the genre's name.
Cons: Nothing.
VANTAGE POINT was a movie whose preview seemed to play nearly every time I went to the theater. So much so that by the time the movie was released I was tired of seeing it. A major mistake on my point as this was one of the most thrilling movies I’ve ...
