Echoes of Silence

If you have not seen the TV show called 24 then I recommend you to see it first. The plot is pretty much the same and the only difference I see is how the scenes are not divided into different windows and also without that striking sound of a ticking clock. But what I did like was even though I knew the plot sounds old, the fact that it was seen through the eyes of eight different persons is such innovative way to tell the story. Where each and everyone's perception is unique and who would have known who are the good guys from the bad guys. It’s like a feeling of that same rush of excitement like I did when I’ve seen 24 for the first time. The execution was well delivered and every gun shots and car chases were exhilarating. And also they got right on with the action and did not waist time with long and boring conversations by old grumpy men who want the president dead. As soon as that president takes that podium you could hear silence even through the crowd’s frenzied screams and you’re just waiting for someone to take that first shot. And as all hell broke loose the gun shots has this echoing effect on you like you are trying to play it again and again on your mind. The crowd is then stirred into turmoil and for the record I’ve never seen such a well orchestrated chaos. Credit goes to the director who did such a superb job and taking it to another level. Overall Vantage point was breathtaking from the first second to the last. I highly recommend it but not for the weak of heart.
