Review of Vantage Point (2008) by Carson K — 29 Jul 2010
Plot: 4/10 - The attempted assassination of the President is told from different perspectives that somehow intertwine.
The plot of the movie is an interesting idea, but the way it all unfolds isn't the greatest. You'll see the same scene about eight times, and it just gets more boring and boring. The story revolves around a bunch of bland characters, and just a simply bland CNN style plot.
Acting: 5/10 - Although there were a few very good actors included in the film, the acting was bland and monotonous, with emotionless, overdone and underdone performances. The personality and emotional state of the character never seems to change throughout the movie.
Script: 3/10 - Repetitive, stressful, boring, and complicated, the script tries to pack in as much stuff to please the viewer, but it ends up doing the exact opposite by making the viewer regret watching.
Action: 4/10 - There are a few good action scenes, but hose few good action scenes turn into twenty of the same action scenes, just from a different perspective, making an illusion of lots of action.
Interest: 3/10 - Due to a stuffed script, uninteresting characters, repetitive plot points, and just the overall sense of the movie, you may fall asleep or drift off into your own thoughts while trying to pay attention to the movie.
Grade: 19/50 (38%) = F.
