Vantage Point A Review

I just watched 'Vantage Point' and I think it is everything that Rendition was trying to be. It is of the same mold were they stretch two explosions and an assassination into about 20 explosions and 8 or so assassinations, but it was more of a story than what rendition was. Dennis Quaid is kind of the star, but this is a movie where the sum of the actors is greater than the individual parts. It was like a cross between the 6th Sense and Rendition and the transporter. It is an action suspense thriller and is one of the most frustrating movies I've ever watched. It gives you 15 minutes of movie then goes back to watch it from someone else view and goes a little further and then goes back etc. etc., until you get to the end where it ties it all together. I want to watch it with Sophie to see if she can guess what is going to happen because she always throws out these wild ideas when we watch CSI and a lot of the time she is right. Anyway her and the kids went to Marietta to swim and I will have to let her tell you about that. Overall I give it a strong 4 out of 5 and it is definitely worth the rental fee. The language is a little coarse, but with what is going on in the film I think it is kind of expected, just a warning.

Note: watched the movie with Sophie and she was able to pick out one of the bad guys in the second part. Darn her.
