The ad campaign for “Vantage Point’s” February release emphasized its dazzling cast and irresistible gimmick. The film follows a presidential assassination attempt from the viewpoint of seven strangers. The finished product turned out to have little razzle or dazzle. That didn’t stop it from becoming a modest hit both in theaters and now on DVD. It’s also one of the few films willing to tackle terrorism head on. The film came out on DVD July 1.
My Washington Times review details just where “Vantage Point” goes awry. Let’s start with limiting Sigourney Weaver’s role to a glorified cameo.
