Vantage Point (2008)

Vantage Point is action thriller that was released in the U.S in 2008 and directed by Pete Travis. The movie won the Golden Trailer Award for best thriller in 2008. The aspects I found interesting about the movie is how the movie did not start in finish in one particular order. Just like the title, the movie is taken from several different vantage points. I found it interesting because it really made people think about what was really going on. This movie fits in with other action Genres because even though the movie was one that made people think it still had a lot of action like explosions and killings. The theme of the movie is that everyone had a different perspective and role about what was going on with the assassination attempt. The theme is fairly obvious in this movie. The plot was well organized for a movie that really made people think. The acting was smooth and realistic however some camera angles really seemed sloppy to me but maybe they wanted it to be that way to make it seem more realistic. The culture significance of the movie is that of what is going on in with the wars throughout the world. Assassination attempts happen all the time and are especially prevalent overseas. They are trying to make the assassination attempts seem realistic to the viewers and they try to relate on what is happening right now in our world.
