This movie had the potential to be really bad, but it was exactly the opposite. Downey's character was extremely effective, though the other characters paled in comparison... the bad guy never really got off the ground. All and all highly recommended, clever and a good time.
I was kind of dreading going with my husband, but I have to say I was so pleasantly surprised. It was extremely clever for an action movie and the characters were complex for how short the movie was. However, I was disappointed with the audience, as some people did not seem to grasp the concept of the movie. The previews and reviews of the movie were VERY clear. It is called Vantage Point... you will be seeing the same thing from different points of view... if this concept is difficult, please do not see the movie.
