Well done
Pete Travis !!! This director has made the movie an action packed thriller. He has worked hard in distinguishing the characters to make it simple on screen. He rewinds the movie for each character and explains their part to make the story. It all starts at Salamanca, Spain. 150 leaders from all the world have gathered there for a Peace summit aimed at extirpating
Terrorism. Rex,the
GNN news coordinator, is busy with her works covering the summit with Angie's help. The leaders are at the stage. The US President, Mr
.Ashton, is ready to deliver his speech. Suddenly he is shot twice- the story catches fire here. The Potus is down. After few seconds the stage blasts. Here it blazes. The rewind starts here focusing the Secret Service Agent- Barnes. Barnes gets the help of Rex a
nd Howard Lewis to find the suspect. Meanwhile there are few more rewinds describing Enrique, a local cop, who hands over a bomb to Veronica. She is the lover of Enrique but he finds fault with her which makes him go to the underpass with a gun. Howard Lewis runs behind Enrique.There he sees his small friend, Anna. The Security of the
President had confirmed a threat and had arranged the double for the summit. They are glad that they were smart. But Veronica and Saurez (the Master mind) have kidnapped a man and made his brother to kidnap the Original Potus. And he does it successfully.They take him in an ambulance at the underpass. Barnes co-worker, Kent, had turned a rogue, who also comes to the underpass. Barnes chasing him reaches the place.
The Underpass:This scene made me pause the movie for a while. The director does magic here creating tension in all minds. All- Barnes, Kent, Howard Lewis, Enrique, Veronica, Saurez, Potus, Anna and the kidnapper are here the same second. Anna crosses the road to get to her mom but she goes shocked on seeing a an ambulance speeding towards her. The ambulance had Veronica, Saurez and the Potus. Meanwhile Barnes, Kent, Enrique and the kidnapper come in face to face. And suddenly BANG! BANG!! BANG!!! Gunshots....
1) What happened to the Original Potus?
2) Was Anna killed in the accident?
3) Was Barnes killed?
4) What happened to the summit?
Well!!! sorry guys.... I won't be telling the
climax, because the movie so great that you should not miss any scenes... Movies like these come out once in a while. Lets not miss them.
Vantage Point-
Roller coaster !!!!!
