My "Vantage Point"

I just returned from seeing the movie "Vantage Point" and thought I would share with you my review of the movie. I had been looking forward to this movie for over a month and I have to say, it lived up to, and perhaps surpassed, my expectations. It began like any other action movie, yet as the movie progressed, the plot became increasingly more complex. I don't want to give away too much, but as you can tell from the title, you get see the story from the vantage point of different individuals, all viewing the same scene unfold. At the end of the movie, they all come together and you get a more holistic view of the story. I know, I know, this is not a new idea. But the way the director presents the story is different from any other movie I had seen. It has many different twists and turns, and the end of the movie contains the best, yes I said it, the BEST car chase I have ever seen in a movie. It was simply amazing. There is some foul language and some violent scenes, but overall, I give the movie an "A". Go see it, I really don't think you will be disappointed.

On a side note, I hate seeing a movie while surrounded by idiots. Every time the movie would go back and show a different vantage point of the same scene, they would say something like "what is going on" or "why do they keep showing this scene" and even "this is stupid." The name of the movie is "Vantage Point" what in the heck did you expect??? From the title you should understand that you are seeing something happen from VARIOUS vantage points. Geeessshhhh!

Anyway, see the movie and let me know what you think!
