This is so like gonna be a total spoiler … as if I care

Please do not watch Vantage Point

The movie keep repeating to an earlier point in time, right after the US President (who happens to be a body-double) was shot

It was so irritating and I wasn’t the only one in the cinema who was grumbling

This might be your cup of tea, but for me I’ll give it a low 2/5 star rating

It kept repeating from eight different perspective, from the US secret servicemen (Dennis Quaid), to the tourist (Forest Whitaker), etc yada yada yada …

I read the brief review beforehand about the various perspective. I was expecting the movie to have some sort of flashbacks or the varying perspective itself was being shown at one-go … never did I expect such a constant repetition of the particular scene itself

Albeit the repetitiveness was essential to piece the movie together, but to keep rewinding it multiple times is such a yawn

The story itself is compelling enough, but if I had know, I would have skipped this movie

If the whole movie was to played out without the repetitive scenes, I think the movie would have lasted less than half an hour only I reckon

    I agree with you. I was so restless throughout the entire movie, should have watched The Orphanage.

      The people in my cinema was pretty vocal about the movie. Keke, they were complaining

      First time ever I’ve seen such a commotion in a cinema
