Vantage Point: An abortive attempt 

Bhopal Today Team

Bhopal, Feb 29: An attempt to assassinate the President of United States is food for the directors and the producers of Hollywood movies. Vantage Point, directed by newcomer Pete Travis, tells the story of eight strangers who have eight different points of view of one incident - the assassination attempt on the President of the United States of America.

Though till date dozens of stories are based on the assassination attempts on the President yet 'Vantage Point' is very much different from the conventional movies. Structure and presentation of movie that makes it different from others. 90-Minute movie based on 29 minute before the assassination and 29 minutes after it, move in the gyrate structure two steps forward, one step backward, again three steps forward, two steps backward ... finally in the 8 turn whole story becomes clear.

Movie starts with die-hard team of journalists who are covering a global war on terror summit. Head of the news channel gives directions to the five cameramen and anchors to cover each and every aspect of summit. In the first step, within the first four minutes story becomes clear that US President Aston (William Hurt) goes to attend the global war on terror summit in the Spain. Thomas Barnes (Dennis Quaid) and Kent Taylor (Mathew Fox) are assigned for the security of the president. Despite of thigh security unknown person shoots two bullets towards President and he falls to the stage.

One by one, eight parts give idea about the assassination plot. US security agents are smart enough to save the President yet the terrorists are over smart, they hijack the communication system, even security agents too. It is real quest and puzzle for audience to guess whether the US agents could able to save the President.

It is suspense and breathtaking movie that makes us stand still for 90 minutes and even after it. The same movie is dubbed in to Hindi named 'Saajish' and released on Friday.
