Vantage Point

Vantage Point, Dennis Quaid, Mathew Fox, Forrest Whitaker
The main story here is an assassination attempt on the President of the United States in Spain. There is a 23 minute window of time that is retold a dozen times from the different people in attendance at the event that this all takes place. Lots of action in this movie, and a well told story. The things is, it was like watching Ground Hog Day, but nothing funny about it. Dennis Quaid does a good job of playing a secret service agent, Mathew Fox is an agent that goes Rogue, and Forrest Whitaker is a civilian that catches most of the event on him personal video camera. If you can get past the way they tell this story, it is a pretty good movie, the ending is great, but again it is a little tough to watch.
