Vantage Point

                    I’ve once again fallen for what I call the "trailer trap". Every so often, I find a film’s trailer so exciting I couldn’t wait to see the movie, only to be dissappointed aftwerwards.Though I have to say Vantage Point was not THAT dissappointing. The plot, though used one too many times before, was presented well and the "Rahomon" style of narration gave it more edge. It was basically about unlocking the mystery concerning the US President’s assassination. But unlike the usual mystery/crime movies wherein they would spend days, and even months of invistigation conducted by a group of officers in charge, this movie lasted for less than 24hours.The mystery unfolded using different videos and recordings, right there and then, from a number of guests who witnessed the incident in different angles. It’s an action film with a happy ending. Yep, culprit’s been caught, dead people who ought to be dead died, people who ought to be saved lived.I’ve just got one question though : Would a notorious terrorist who’s already killed and wounded a multitude, really swerve his car away to avoid running over a little girl and consequently sabotage their plan?!?  coz in this film, that’s what they did.

oh yeah..my thoughts exactly.
