looks interesting, but i don't really have a desire to go see it.

here's one review i read:
"I just got home from seeing an early showing of this film and I just must say, "OH MY GOD...". Within the first 5 minutes easily, I was so engrossed that I couldn't look away. It was very intense. And although some may find the constant 'rewinding' to be annoying, I just found that it made it that much more awesome. Every 20 minutes or so you're right on the edge of your seat and are left hanging until the very end. It's one giant tease, but it's totally worth it. Definitely one of the smartest, and most well executed movies I can remember seeing. The whole ensemble is absolutely flawless. It had the perfect combination of action, suspense, and humor.

I just can't say enough good things about this movie. Please, go now.. and enjoy."

OK - just came back from seeing Vantage Point.

Overall, I enjoyed the movie as a whole, but the rewinding thing they did every 15 +/-minutes for the first hour or so was pretty annoying. Good action flick in general, with the obligatory car chase and gunfights. Has a underlying "government-and-media-is-out-to-get-you" message that you can ignore.

I liked it alot. I havent seen a movie in the cinema for like 4 months at least... so that might have helped.


It was fun!
