Tue, 26 Aug 2008 21:32:55 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author quasar - I somehow missed Vantage Point in the theater. In some ways that's too bad as thrillers almost always play to their best advantage on the big screen. In other ways that's fortunate because this is a movie that I found myself rewinding frequently...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sussmanbern - VANTAGE POINT (2008) is a thriller involving a plot against the US President. But not a simple plot like AIRFORCE ONE. No, this is complicated. This is a jigsaw puzzle that's put together piece by piece. It's a big international gathering of world...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author fenrir84 - Okay, so this movie is not only 30 minutes, but the movie does take place within about 30 minutes. However, due to the way the movie is set up, it is not like you are watching the same 30 minutes over and over. Dennis Quaid plays a returning...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lawrence1111 - The film held my interest from start to finish. The acting was superb. I liked the use of the little girl.

Wed, 2 Jul 2008 03:16:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kirbylee - VANTAGE POINT was a movie whose preview seemed to play nearly every time I went to the theater. So much so that by the time the movie was released I was tired of seeing it. A major mistake on my point as this was one of the most thrilling movies I’ve...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author rmurray847 - I suppose there's nothing actively offensive or bad about VANTAGE POINT, but it has very little to recommend it in the way of freshness or genuine thrills. It tells the story of a terrorist attack in Salamanca, Spain, where the president is about to...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author phungus - Vantage Point is an interesting movie with an interesting premise that, despite an all-star cast, is so full of plot holes that it brings the whole thing down. Even so, it’s still a pretty original movie that has enough entertainment quality...
