Be patient with this GREAT movie

This movie is different from all movies you've seen before.
It jumps around from each person's point of view,
if you stick with it, you will be greatly rewarded.
Great acting, great action, and "clean"

The plot was well thoughtout and Dennis Quaid and
the other actors did a wonderful job.

Gimmicky but exciting at the end.

While it repeats like a bad meal, Vantage Point is decently directed and the final sequence--although 110% predictable--is pretty damn exciting. This may be a stretch but I detected an underlying message about the value of human life, in the midst of all that chaos.

Good not great!

I felt as if I was watching a poor mans version of Crash with most of the characters interconnecting in some way throughout only to all come together at the end. The Blu Ray was very good and I found the sound to be exceptional. The explosions could be felt throughout the house, only problem is that the same explosion happened eight times. The car chase reminded me of the Bourne movies and was very exciting. I do have one issue with the car chase and that is for a movie that attempts to be as realistiic as possible it is annoying to watch cars crash over and over again but still aquire no damage when seen from a distance. I might be nit picking but it is a pet peave of mine. Overall it is worth the watch!

A Real Stretch, But Entertaining

Well, I doubt anyone will fall asleep watching this film. That's the best feature of this movie: it's very entertaining and once you start it, it's tough to put down. Being only 90 minutes, it's a quick hour-and-a-half. It also helps to know that you are going to get the story told from a handful of angles, so expect to see similar scenes running over and over, each with a few new wrinkles added.

Also, expect a lot of the action scenes that are both fun to view but not very credible. My favorite - spoiler alert! - of that is when "Thomas Barne's" (Dennis Quaid) little blue car is totally bashed in by a huge 18-wheeler. Not only that, the car is smashed up against a brick wall. It should look like a metal pancake. Seconds later, Quaid emerges from the wreck and is running down the street like a football halfback shooting his pistol! He hardly has a scratch on him, and the limp disappears after about three strides!

Whatever, it's a fun ride not to be taken seriously but as a short entertainment diversion.The twists are fun to see, too, as the same-but-similar story slowly unwinds and all the pieces finally fall into place by the end.....even though, how they do manage that is by stretching things a bit!
