Great movie - arrived in great condition, November 19, 2008

Enjoyed the movie and the DVD quality was very high - well packaged and well shipped

From My Vantage Point, Severely Disappointing , November 16, 2008

I had high hopes for vantage point, a movie in which Dennis Quaid and Forrest Whitaker play significant roles. It is a very short movie and personally I think the reason they show the movie from 5 different angles is because they did not have enough of a story line to put together a full 90 minute film.

Be ready immediately to watch the first 10 minutes of the movie 5 separate times and then on the 6th time watch it from all the angles until the finish. Honestly none of the so called Vantage Points are that convincing or shocking. It is fairly easy from the beginning to pick out who the terrorists are. One thing that was extremely frustrating was that the movie made the U.S. secret service look like a bunch of incompetent idiots that had no training.

Yes the action is entertaining with one of the most unrealistic car scenes I have ever seen but I think there are so many better choices out there to watch a good action flick. I advise you, pass on this movie and 90 minutes of your life will be saved.

Good But Is As Expected, November 16, 2008

This is what was expected of this kind of movie. I hate to use the word typical.

awful, horrible and waste of money, November 16, 2008

Horrible movie and acting. Horrible story line and worse its political message makes me puke every time I hear about this sorry movie. Forest Whitaker is so bad in this movie I can't believe it. Anti-American BS is all over this movie. Outrageously cheap and bad. Zero Star!

A Real Stretch, But Entertaining, November 14, 2008

Well, I doubt anyone will fall asleep watching this film. That's the best feature of this movie: it's very entertaining and once you start it, it's tough to put down. Being only 90 minutes, it's a quick hour-and-a-half. It also helps to know that you are going to get the story told from a handful of angles, so expect to see similar scenes running over and over, each with a few new wrinkles added.

Also, expect a lot of the action scenes that are both fun to view but not very credible. My favorite - spoiler alert! - of that is when "Thomas Barne's" (Dennis Quaid) little blue car is totally bashed in by a huge 18-wheeler. Not only that, the car is smashed up against a brick wall. It should look like a metal pancake. Seconds later, Quaid emerges from the wreck and is running down the street like a football halfback shooting his pistol! He hardly has a scratch on him, and the limp disappears after about three strides!

Whatever, it's a fun ride not to be taken seriously but as a short entertainment diversion.The twists are fun to see, too, as the same-but-similar story slowly unwinds and all the pieces finally fall into place by the end.....even though, how they do manage that is by stretching things a bit!
