OT - Vantage Point Disappoints

Last night I watched Matthew Fox's latest movie, 'Vantage Point'.
I am a man of few words, so this review will be brief.

This movie is a PU stinker.

Save your 12 bucks and go see something else.

Better yet, save your bandwidth and don't even download a bootleg copy of 

this one.

Hollywood has just discovered the secret to totally eliminating movie  
piracy; Make more movies like Vantage Point.

No character development. No real plot. No real point.
Dennis Quaid with one dimensional acting. Clint Eastwood did this 20 years
 
ago, 30 times better.
Matthew Fox, underutilized. In the end, I wish he HAD jumped off the  
bridge.
Forest Whitaker held a dam camcorder throughout the entire film.
The little ice cream girl that ran out in the street. Who cares? (and a  
plot flaw)
William Hurt is not Presidential material, I don't care if there are two  
of them.
Sigourney Weaver, ugh! Don't come back untill you have another Alien!

If you as a movie director are going to teach me about the evils of  
terrorism, at least be subtle about it.
The only emotion this script evoked from me was outrage. Outrage that  
after the first 20 minutes I really wanted to walk out.

One hour of Lost is 8 times better than 15 movies like Vantage Point.
Vantage Point sucks a big 'Frozen Donkey Wheel'
