Many dance surely will pull in the model "Rashomon" of Kurusawa to talk about this "Vantage Point", but it seems to me that there is nothing further. The film was Japanese dish on many facets of truth, a story that changed, depending on who tells the story, not just points of view, but precisely the crux of the story. "Rashomon" is the inspiration of "Outrage", a western Martin Ritt, of "How many times that night by Mario Bava's" Courage Under Fire "by Zwick and a flood episodes of TV series, cartoons and comics. But "Vantage Point" is the son of "Run Lola Run" by Tom Tykwer with the idea of \u200b\u200ba time that comes back every time and again at the beginning of history, not change them fully here, with major plot twists. "Vantage Point" revolves around the assassination of U.S. president in Spain and 8 different points of view, who attended the scene, at least until mid-film because in the end everything becomes much more linear perspective by bringing together the important one. The film is nothing of that, but it is well shot and gives high spectacular moments. A little '24, a little' Friedkin particular pursuits, nothing original sure, but what he says he says it well. The film lacks in the script above that forgets the streets of the characters, others reduced to caricatures (Sigourney Weaver) and can not do at all excited about micro plot as it does with the main one. The cast found a gigantic Dennis Quaid that you eat for breakfast the next generation as embalmed and expressionless Matthew Fox of Lost. For the rest of the cast does not do much playing for the loaf without the big surges actorial we would have expected from, for example, a good elsewhere Forrest Whitaker. Directed by Pete Travis is good and has a particularly fast-paced tracking shot in a state of grace through the streets of a city English. It could be a great action thriller, but the obvious defects of neglect narrative not lift him up from a pleasant homework, but known.
