Vantage Point

Sounds pretty cool doesn't it? Seeing an event from different points of view, the event of the President being shot no less, would seem to be a good action flick at least. Too bad the movie doesn't deliver.

The problem lies within the execution of the "different points of view." The first 3 or 4 characters' sequences are all pretty much the exact same events with a few personal scenes thrown in. This makes the first half hour of the movie pretty boring. I fell asleep while watching it.

The action does pick up after that part, but frankly, it's too little too late.

Bottom line: Rent this. Buy it only if you find it for a ridiculously cheap price, which is all I would pay for this movie anyway.
