Sometimes a single incident can change the entire course of your life. That too in a split of second. Vantage Point is a movie about one such incident that touches the life of more than one person and how it is seen from the perspective of 8 different people.

The US President has been shot. And a series of bomb explodes, massacring people and creating mayhem among the city dwellers. A terrorist attack has just struck the world summit in Spain where the President was addressing a meeting on the global war against terror.

In a twenty-three minute period, the assassination attempt on the President unfolds through the movie capturing the incidents just before and after the President is shot. The story is revealed as seen from the eyes of 8 strangers, each a witness – the body guard, the president, an American tourist, GNN reporter and others.

The USP of Vantage Point is its unique and gripping style of story telling. Each time the scene rewinds, adding a new piece to the larger puzzle and taking the story a little further into the future. And just about the time when it is likely to get predictable, another new twist is introduced. The film continues at an uninterrupted pace right till the very last scene, keeping one at the edge of the seat.

Directed by Pete Travis, this fast paced action flick has everything – a fantastic story line, a tight Screenplay, brilliant performances and even a thrilling car chase! The climax of the movie, though a tad predictable, is equally explosive and heart-pounding.

Bottom line – Definitely worth watching!
