Vantage Point

I'm not usually one for political movies. I had to go see this one though, it sounded cool. It had an all-star cast with Forest Whitaker, Denis Quaid, and Matthew Fox (the guy from Lost, which is really the main reason I wanted to see it 'cause I have seen every episode of Lost). Anyways, it takes the view point (or Vantage Point, hence the title) of eight different people and blends them together, going a little bit further into the story with each piece of the puzzle and then finally pulls them in together at the end. It's a cool idea for a movie, the acting was great, the story was OKAY at best, though Matthew Fox played a really awesome part. My rating is going to be a little biased, so...

I give this little chunk of cinematic bronze an 8/10.

Vantage Point, as in perception on the series of events? Or a good shooting position? If it is the first one, it seemed a little ironic with you mentioning being biased and all. Just thought I'd throw that in there...

I'm biased because of Matthew Fox.

It takes the "vantage point" of 8 different characters in the movie and goes through the same events 8 times, only in a different way. It changes the way you see it multiple times.
