One Paragraph Review: Vantage Point

If you're like me and can't stand movies where things happen for no reason, then you'll also be like me and pretty much hate this movie. Vantage Point tells the story of a presidential assassination attempt from multiple angles. You see it from the tourists watching the president speak, a local policeman, the president himself, his Secret Service protection and even the terrorists. The movie works from this premise but doesn't bother explaining why things are happening. This is maddening. And it's also bad filmmaking.
