Eight strangers have a perfect view of the kill but what did they really see? As the minutes leading up to the fatal shot are replayed through the eyes of each eyewitness the reality of the assassination takes shape. But just when you think you know the answer the shattering final truth is revealed. VANTAGE POINT is a mindbending political action-thriller starring Dennis Quaid Matthew Fox Academy Award® Winner Forest Whitaker (Best Actor 2006 The Last King of Scotland) with Sigourney Weaver and Academy Award® winner William Hurt (Best Actor 1985 Kiss of the Spider Woman).System Requirements:Running Time: 90 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: ACTION/ADVENTURE/THRILLERS Rating: PG-13 UPC: 043396216167 Manufacturer No: 21616 Reader Reviews I have a problem with the way this movie reached its climax. Before the terrorists crashed the ambulance, they've already caused the death of dozens of people, indiscriminately through two bombings, and discriminately through shootings. The woman, in particular, has shot "Cameraman no. 2", a co-conspirator, at close range, in cold blood, inside the ambulance (how she did that without flinching from the terrible noise, and how she never lost her hearing from such a blast inside an enclosed space, I'll never know). So it puzzles me why in the end she had an attack of "conscience" and yanked the steering wheel to avoid hitting the girl, thereby rolling the ambulance and causing her own death, that of her co-terrorist (the ringleader), ending the car chase and saving the life of the president. You may say I'm nitpicking, but the ending doesn't quite cut if for me. It's too Hollywood.
