Excellent choice for a first movie post on A Skewed ReView, don't you think?
If you don't know, this movie takes an assassination attempt on the President of the United States and shows you the same period of time through a number of characters' experiences. On the one hand, I'm wary of movies that let me know they're going to be showing me the same thing over and over and yet again over (blame Groundhog Day, which really didn't know when to just give it up and get to the end of the movie -- definite perma-watch -checking). On the other hand ... Matthew Fox. Gotta give it a try.
Well done "Vantage Point". Interesting and exciting, seeing the same period of time from different points of view was actually entertaining and original. Verdict: First Run Theatre

Not that original.
Check out the movie classic Rashomon, or the book Life Before Man by Margaret Atwood.
It may be well done, but it has been done before.
