Vantage Point

One of the movies I watched over the weekend was Vantage Point.

With a Rashomon narrative style, the attempted assassination of the president is told from five different perspectives. In Spain to give a speech announcing an anti-terrorism initiative, the U. S. President (William Hurt) is apparently shot. The action tracks Secret Service agent Thomas Barnes (Dennis Quaid) as he deals with the chaos following the shooting. We see the event first through the eyes of the television news director (Sigourney Weaver), then the scenes rewind and we see it again from several different perspectives.

Great movie to watch too!

Again, found it at Moviesniffing. Click on one of the links on the page to stream the movie.
