Vantage Point -- less.......

If you are looking for an action packed-twister -- this movie will satisfy.
However, if you are looking for that "most awesome movie" title - keep looking.
Vantage point frustrates -- after the 5th time of seeing the same sequence of events - you start to groan when the screen fades to black and the time resets back to noon.
The car chase is reminiscent of a "fast and the furious, rice grinder sceen" and tends to get a little dizzying with the camera angles. There are a few surprises which are good - but, the whole movie lacks that extra something to make it a huge hit. Matthew Fox is good as usual and Dennis Quaid does surprising well for the lack of lines that he has to deliver. The ending wraps everything up into a nice little package. Worth the money for the ticket - but, I wouldn't see it twice.
