My cinema: new review

Vantage Point by Pete Travis, USA 2008

Vantage Point could have been an interesting thriller. But after a mildly promising start showing eight different points of view of different protagonists (view angles) it gets lost in unlikely action and the typical scenes from Hollywood B series like cars chasing each other in the streets of Salamanca. The plot is not too original and also very unlikely not to say ridiculous. The question is, what are actors like William Hurt, Sigourney Weaver, Forest Whitaker and Eduardo Noriega doing there (well okay I can understand about Dennis Quaid and Matthew Fox…). Maybe for a dvd home view in a boring evening. [1/5]
