    Storyline

    • Trivia
      In the original script, the tourist was a Russian named Lewicki. When Forest Whitaker auditioned for a different role, Pete Travis was so impressed that he rewrote the tourist as an American and offered the role to him.
    • Goofs
      When the blue Astra crashes between two parked cars, and when it crashes into the truck, it's going fast enough that the front and side airbags should have deployed.
    • Quotes

      Luis: Is everything going to plan?

      Suarez: To the last detail.

      Luis: And the President? Are you sure they sent a double?

      Suarez: The beauty of American arrogance is that they can't imagine a world where they're not a step ahead.

    Fun Crime Thriller
    I really liked this movie for what it was. I'm not really sure what other people were expecting to give it what I believe to be unfair and too harsh critiques, but this is a good movie. It is not perfect, nor is it great, nor did it show me something I have never seen before, but it is a nice little crime thriller done in a unique manner.

    I have read that a lot of people felt that it was boring to see the same story played out over and over. But wasn't that the point of this film? We knew that was going to be the case coming into this movie. And the thing of it is is that there is enough different in each perspective where it is not a bore to see the same instance multiple times.

    I liked how it was up to the viewer to try to piece things together and figure out exactly what happened and who the culprit really is.

    This is a good movie if you are not looking for anything great or mind blowing. I do enjoy when I see a great, mind blowing film, but I'm not expecting it every time that I sit down to watch a movie. I do not see any reason to dislike this movie. It's good for what it is and if you're in the market for an entertaining, "who dunnit?" crime thriller I say "Vantage Point" makes for a fun watch.
