Vantage Point

So how was everyone’s Good Friday? Hope it was “GOOD”! Hehe. Sorry, couldn’t help it. Well, i was damn glad to have had a nice long weekend though examinations are looming around the corner. Oh well! Haha. Nurul and I enjoyed ourselves by catching an action packed thriller for this weekend. The moment i caught the trailer, i knew i wanted to catch it. Nurul, though not an avid fan of action pack movies, certainly wanted to watch it. Why you ask? Cause it had her heart-throb Dennis Quaid. She squealed in excitement upon learning her favourite actor role.

VANTAGE POINT

What you see isn’t necessarily the true picture. Never entirely believe what you have been told. Even if it’s something that you have seen with your very own eyes. Vantage Point begins with a groundbreaking World Congress coming together to sign an Anti-Terrorist summit in beautiful Spain. You begin with the news broadcasters point of view ( basically what the world will see) on the occasion. Unfortunately, an Anti-Terrorist summit must certainly attract a Terrorist Attack. What more but the Assassination of The President of the United States of America. As the events unfold upon our eyes and the world, unknowingly, a different story is unfolding behind the scenes which shall only be revealed to us in the latter parts of the the show. Deception, betrayal, kidnapping, loyalty, trust, compassion, hope and love are themes of the movie. Watch as the assassination plot unfold in the eyes of 8 different people having different roles in the assassination plot. Of course, the main hero of the day will be Dennis Quaid as the President’s Bodyguard.

It’s certainly an action packed movie. First time that i have seen Nurul literally sitting up straight at the edge of her seat and kept jumping out of her seat due to the multiple explosions. The movie is exhilarating as you are astounded with the plot as the truth unfolds with different characters. You keep questioning yourself why is this character here and for what role do they play. The only irritating part of the show is watching the assassination plot unfold 6 times as each characters perspective position while the President’s being shot. Learn how to overlook it and trust me the movie will be great for you.

Ratings:

Special Effects : 3/5 ( The explosions are cool. The weapons will blow you away too.)

Plot : 5/5 ( The plot is thrilling and unexpected!)

Overall : 4/5 ( Catch it, exciting, stimulating and fun. What more can you ask than none stop action?)
