One Vantage Too Many
Reviewer: rag67

Plot - nothing new
Casting - good
Direction - very good
The director manages to take a tried and tested plot line and twist it into a new direction. The let down was one too many "vantage points" which made the film feel as if it was 2 to 3 hours long rather than the hour and a half.
That said worth a watch

Not bad!

I quite enjoyed the film. The acting was good and it was interesting seeing the same situation from different points of view. If only life was like that. If only life always had a hero who was always going to save the day. America's need to always have a happy last scene ruins a lot of movies. Life isn't like that! Good direction and the feeling I was there. I would recommend this movie but don't get too excited.
Really good film to watch!

Well I thought this film was brilliant, and really enjoyed it. It was gripping from start to finish, and the filming and sequence of things were great. In the beginning you think it's solved but then the plot digs deeper, and it was very cleverly done how small 'unimportant' details were then shown 2 scenes later or so, and everything woven together. And I also thought the ending was good, it kind of showed that really there are quite a lot of goings that we will never know about.
Altogether, a great film.!
