      Critics Consensus

      Vantage Point has an interesting premise that is completely undermined by fractured storytelling and wooden performances.

      Nell Minow Movie Mom Rated: C Feb 14, 2012 Full Review Tim Grierson Screen International Although based around a familiar, Rashomon-style concept, Vantage Point ratchets up its intensity so effectively that the lack of originality hardly matters. Jul 23, 2008 Full Review Tim Robey Daily Telegraph (UK) Watchably silly at best, it's the political thriller as an unintentional comedy of errors - 24 meets Noises Off. Mar 7, 2008 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com Collapses under the weight of predictability. Rated: 2.0/4.0 Sep 26, 2020 Full Review Micheal Compton Bowling Green Daily News The stylishly slick action flick that doesn't exactly tread into unfamiliar territory, but is still quite entertaining. Rated: B Oct 29, 2019 Full Review Mattie Lucas The Dispatch (Lexington, NC) The film's climax has to rank as one of the silliest car chases ever captured on film. Rated: 2/4 Jun 6, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

      Audience Member This wasn't a bad movie, but I also didn't love it. I feel like they did the rewind one or two times too many. I did think the premise was cool, but unfortunately a certain actor is so obviously bad that the twist was very weak. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/20/24 Full Review Nathan W I'm torn on how to review this one. On the one hand, I found the premise intriguing. Granted we've seen movies like this before, but never with the stakes quite so high. On the other hand, the storytelling was uneven and the acting felt stiff overall. The first half of the movie was dull and repetitive. Like they were trying to take a simple concept and pad it out to feature length with as little effort as possible. But the second half... was balls to the wall action. With each passing scene the story got more complicated, more exciting and more ridiculous. It really felt like 2 different people directed this. If the whole film had been like the last 45 minutes, this would be an easy 4 stars. But as it stands, what it did well was not enough to overcome the boredom and monotony we had to suffer through to get there. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/13/24 Full Review Spikecat 38/100 It loses its potential with a bland and copy- pasted story, alongside a short runtime to make it worse. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/11/23 Full Review zoe I personally love this movie, the way that it shows so many different perspectives without the story line getting muddy, it's just a chefs kiss movie. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/11/23 Full Review Devin H Vantage Point from 2008 is easily 1 of my Favorites & definitely 1 of Best Films of 2008. The reason I love Vantage Point cause it was a very Intruiging Premise because it's about where there's a assassination attempt on the U. S. president during a conference tour in Mexico City he disappears. The gimmick of it is Rewind & Tell, it's about secret service agent Thomas Barnes played by Dennis Quaid that feels bad cause he screwed in the past, after the president disappears during the assassination attack. It's up to Barnes to save the president. I Love Vantage Point cause it's offers Great Action, Suspense, & Great Twists & Turns. Very Likable characters & Great Cast, Dennis Quaid, Matthew Fox, Forrest Whitaker, & William Hurt do a Remarkable but Excellent job giving very Intense Performances throughout. It moves at fast pace, keeps you guessing, & never over stays it's welcome. I was never bored. I don't get why critics trashed Vantage Point & called 1 of the Worst Films of 2008. I find Quaid, Fox, & Whitaker very Underrated Actors & I do admire alot, 1 of my favorites in the President In Danger Genre, I definitely recommend it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/03/23 Full Review Carlos T Minha opinião: Um filme inteligente, amei este filme. Que reprisa o mesmo momento, porém de vários personagens. Ótima atuação dos atores reçalva para Forest. Muito bem trabalhado nos detalhes para esta produção com uma galeria de atores de peso Quaid, Forest, Sigourney, Zoe,... um filme de suspense com atentado contra a vida do cardial, mas todos pensam que para o presidente dos EUA que temos Hut no papel. Quaid é o segurança do presidente todo inicio do filme se passa envolta dele. Porem temos Forest como turista que esta filmando tudo e quando ele percebe coisas estranhas começa aperseguir o possível terrorista que esta fugindo, mas ele pode ser é um policial. Quem é quem, nessa caça ao rato. Todos são suspeitos até que no final é revelado a verdeira intenção e o terrorista. Roteiro e enredo muito inteligente parabéns. Vale apena assistir? Com certeza Nota: 8,75 Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/28/23 Full Review Read all reviews
