Movie Review: Vantage Point

Sorry folks! Here's another one!


The newly released movie Vantage Point is a non-stop thrill ride. Intense from beginning to end, this movie is equipped with some great explosions and a killer car chase. Not interested yet? Vantage Point, as suggested by the title, tells the story of an attempted abduction of the President of the United Statesfrom from 8 different vantage points. (And be prepared, they do show ALL 8 of them. I personally enjoyed trying to catch all of the clues offered from the 8 different perspectives, however, there were several in the audience complaining about that very thing.) If you're prepared however, this movie proves to be an enjoyable and intense watch offering a different method of story telling than the norm. My personal fave from this movie: Dennis Quaid! I love him as an actor and he surely doesn't disappoint in this film! Another highlight is a few unexpected twists and turns that continue to keep you guessing. A couple warnings about this movie. 1. Be prepared to accept some seriously unrealistic things. 2. Watch out for some language. There is 1 'f' word I can remember and Gordon said he may have heard 1 other. :( I give this movie a B-.

If nothing else, to go watch Matthew Fox and Dennis Quaid both--yummy! I'd go watch for the hotties and take Ethan to go watch the action.
