Sarah: on Vantage Point


"This movie is just a big excuse for a car chase".

She's right. Also, I believe it has one of the worst camera angles ever. It features a dying man in the foreground, his face turning toward the camera after final breath, and then from the background comes the clip clop of the heels of someone shooting as he runs past. Watch it. No, don't. If someone rents it, fast forward to the second to last scene and enjoy the brilliance. Can you force brilliance? Uh, no. But this scene is definitely forced. And that is brilliant.
