“Vantage Point” exciting but absurd
“Vantage Point” is not a movie that could be classified as a “thinker.”
The movie starts with a sensational set-up which escalates throughout many twists and turns to the point of becoming absurd.
The basic premise is the president of the United States (William Hurt) is attending a peace summit in Spain. Despite the efforts of his Secret Service men (including Dennis Quaid and Matthew Fox), the president is seemingly shot and killed in a plaza where he was to deliver a speech.
