Vantage Point

Anyone seen Vantage Point? We watched it last night - it was a little tricky to follow but boy it was good! Really enjoyed it!

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div>

President Ashton (William Hurt) is attending a global war on terror summit in Spain. Thomas Barnes (Dennis Quaid) and Kent Taylor (Matthew Fox) are two` of the Secret Service agents assigned to protect him. This is the first action that Agent Barnes has been in since he took a bullet for President Ashton six-month earlier. We really dont know if Agent Barnes is up to the challenge of protecting the President. Shortly after President Ashton is escorted to the stage in the plaza by the Secret Service, he is shot twice by a rifle from a window and falls to the floor. The crowd is in shock and chaos breaks out all over, especially when bombs begin to explode. Howard Lewis (Forest Whitaker) is an American video-taping the event to show to his children that he was actually there at this historic event. He believes that he has the picture of the man who shot the President. Agent Barnes sees the tape and has a clue to that person. Several different people witness the event, and only through their eyes do we see the truth behind the assassination attempt.

Is it that good? It looked alright in the commercials, but it just doesn't seem to have gotten a whole lot of hype...

I know everyone has different tastes when it comes to movies, but I really enjoyed it. Hubby did too and he doesn't normally like stuff that I enjoy! So that says something!!

We're going to watch "Awake" tonight or tmor night on Sky Box Office.
