I wish I had a "Vantage Point"

I missed this movie when it hit the theatres in Kolkata. So I just waited till the DVD came out and watched it a couple of days ago.

It’s an inconceivable piece of cinematography. The plot is an assassination bid on the President of the United States and involves multiple points of view of the events that transpire from a about half an hour before the actual shots are fired up to the time after that when the terrorists are being chased and tracked down.

Each of the characters led by a star cast of Dennis Quaid (Agent Barnes) as one os the Secret Service agents assigned to protect the President and Forest Whittaker (Howard Lewis) who is vacationing and happens to be video recording the event. Others include the News Producer Sigourney Weaver (Rex). Others in the plot are Matthew Fox (Agent Taylor), the mastermind behind the assassination Saïd Taghmaoui (Saurez), his accomplice Ayelet Zurer (Veronica), her suspecting lover Undercover Spanish Policeman (Enriue), the special forces trained Edgar Ramirez (Javier) who’s brother is being held captive by the terrorist and who’s only way of getting him back alive is to keep the President alive and finally William Hurt (President Ashton).

If you don't get blown away by this action thriller, then try making a movie like this.
