Vantage Point Reviews
USA Today
Claudia Puig
While the title, trailer and commercials imply that we'll be carefully piecing together clues to a complex assassination attempt as seen from several perspectives, the final product turns out to be a tepid thriller that promises more than it delivers.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
All this visual caffeine is in service to a story that isn't worth telling, and that too frequently resorts to the cheap technique of putting an adorable little girl in peril, then cutting away.
Orlando Sentinel
Roger Moore
An overplotted, gimmicky presidential-assassination thriller, its interlocking pieces have to fit just so for it to stay coherent and ratchet up the tension.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
When everything is finally revealed, the story Vantage Point tells is fairly pedestrian, and nothing special is gained from all the stopping and restarting.
AV Club
Scott Tobias
Travis dutifully pastes the story-shards together, but he and the actors are hamstrung by a script that's so busy piling on the twists that it never pauses to consider what they mean.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
Chugging forward and chundering back, the movie keeps promising to whip up something hellishly complicated, but what keeps the movie going for an hour and a half is not a complicated plot but a stingy way of dribbling out information.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
Initially intriguing and energetic, this film ends up demonstrating that a good script needs to be more than a clever concept and fine direction must be more than moving things fast.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
A gimmick in search of its own point.
Houston Chronicle
Amy Biancolli
A nice, straightforward, good old-fashioned geopolitical conspiracy thriller with no pretentions.
Lessons of Darkness
Nick Schager
A monument to cinematic suckiness.
New Yorker
David Denby
Is it art? Not remotely. But, up to the final scenes, it's a tremendous piece of engineering. And the hurtling force of Vantage Point is fun to watch.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
What is the real crime? Why, beating the audience about the ears, eyes and brain with essentially the same sequence of events from eight characters' points of view, none of which adds much more than deafening hysteria and identically dreadful music.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
Vantage Point makes nice use of the heft of Dennis Quaid, Forest Whitaker, William Hurt and Sigourney Weaver in a story in which an assassination followed by an explosion gets revisited from eight points of view.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
If you can work your way past Vantage Point's goofy casting that places a bland, blank-eyed Hurt in the White House, then I suppose you can manage to forgive this Rashomon rip-off's other glaring idiosyncrasies, of which there are many.
Detroit News
Tom Long
You can watch a Bugs Bunny cartoon from 10 different angles, and it's still a Bugs Bunny cartoon. Vantage Point is a Bugs Bunny cartoon.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
Don't get me wrong, it's not horrific, it's just pointless, and no matter which angle you choose to watch it from the only thing you get while viewing Vantage Point is the unceasing desire to turn your eyes someplace else.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Reduces global terrorism to a Rubik's Cube suitable for an evening's entertainment. If that doesn't make you vaguely ill, by all means take this thriller for the shallow, gimmicky "ride" it aspires to be.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
If you're up for good nihilist entertainment, look no further.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
The filmmakers hook us and reel us in during 90 breathless minutes.
