Bang. Bang. Kaaabooom!!

Oh my. It seems like the president of the United States has only gone and got himself bloomin’ shot. How on earth did that happen? I think we need to find out, err 8 times…

Vantage Point starts off quite well. We’re quickly treated to the smell of tension, a lick of action and the taste of the dramatic aftermath.

Unfortunately, that’s as good as it gets because the films main selling point – telling the story from multiple perspectives, is also its downfall.  After going through (basically) the same thing over and over in an unfunny Groundhog Day style,  it just gets annoying. The final 30 minutes pick up the pace again, but by then it’s too late and you’re frankly just relieved you don’t have to sit through another ‘rewind’.

I think we need to find out, but this time, from another perspective…
