Pros,
-----------------------
Just watched Vantage Point last friday with my coursemates, the set was amazing really, and realistic. Not forgetting the explosion under the stage platform and the car chasing scenes. Superb. The back-track for all the roles of the cast and their perceptions before the alleged assassination that happened was understandable. If it wasn't for that, I guess no one would actually understand the movie.
Cons,
-----------------------
Boy did it disappoint me. My disappointment isn't mainly on the movie, rather on the story line and plot. The whole plot and the climax was too coincidental. I think I'd have a better chance at a bird poo landing on my head after watching the movie.
There were a few points I noticed,
Bumping into the guy on the other side of the phone in one of the news feed screens in the news trailer while having the phone conversation?
Then there was this little girl who exchanged lines with this black guy who ended up as the actual heroine that caused the ambulance to flip under the bridge. Why the heroine u ask? The real president of the united states was in it.
Not just that, after the explosion the little girl were looking for her mother and ended up across the road somewhere under the bridge where the black guy was. The really amazing part was, the little girl just "ended up" there whereas the black guy ran took god knows how many blocks and how long it took to actually reach there.
Speaking of the black guy with the camcorder, of all the thousand people in the crowds at the gathering, the evil mastermind chose the black guy for a little small talk right before he uses his PDA to digitally aim the gun at the double, double referring to the president of the united states.
Not forgetting the conspiring "glowing" pretty lady in the ambulance that crossed eyes with the guy that was running away from the bodyguards was a piece of work. Of all random roads to escape from running bodyguards with firing guns, they just had to bump into each other on that road.
Even the real president of the united states (potus) was not rescued from a warehouse or saved from a battle heat of bullets, but rather ending up in an accident with all the casts of the movie were at the end. Where? I'll tell you.. UNDER THE BRIDGE!
I'll stop here for now, interested in more "miracle scenes"? go watch the movie. I've been trying to think of positive reviews for this movie and this is all I could came up with. Let's put it all in two words to sum it up for the plot and the movie.
Amazing Bullshit.
