Review of Vantage Point (2008) by Einarj. — 02 Apr 2008
The movie is so stereotypical, that I can't believe I even found this movie somewhat appealing. The idea of viewpoints sounds wonderful (main reason I even gave this movie a 3), but it becomes tedious, revisited and in the end abandoned for an all out momentum, we-dont-have-enough-of-a-budget-to-add-more-viewpoints.
There is almost no character development, and all the characters are typical and uninteresting. Despite half the cast dying somewhere in the movie, without much emotion, the plot could've worked with some enhanced character development.
Forest Whitaker acts decently, but seems to fit in the Forest Whitaker type of role, barely causing for major acclaim. The movie was just awful really, yet could keep you somewhat appealled for the first time in theatres.
