Vantage Point

“Flat-out one of the more exciting and original gut-busters that Hollywood has produced in many a month. It's virtually all action, but the action is never mindless and it is full of marvelous surprises every step of the way.”

William Arnold, Seattle Post-Intelligencer · 83

“Three-fourths of a terrific thriller, which in this dreary run of winter movies seemed like clear spring water to this parched traveler. The setup is so riveting, the suspense so carefully prolonged, that I didn't mind when it unraveled into lunacy near the end.”

Lawrence Toppman, Charlotte Observer · 75

“Because Vantage Point is really a concept movie, the actors are not much more than pawns on the chessboard: They move one square at a time.”

Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer · 75

“If you're up for good nihilist entertainment, look no further.”

Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader · 70

“Is it art? Not remotely. But, up to the final scenes, it’s a tremendous piece of engineering. After all, the narratives have to synch up visually, which can’t be easy to manage. And the hurtling force of Vantage Point is fun to watch.”

David Denby, The New Yorker · 70
