I guess the only viable reason I have for watching Vantage Point, even after all my friends said it was terrible, is that it is available on Netflix Watch Instantly, it has a short running time, and I wanted to watch something easy.
But it's even worse than I expected. There's never been a movie with more implausible elements in it. I literally said "that wouldn't happen" during every scene -- maybe every shot -- of the film. The worst offenses, though, had to be the Secret Service men shooting into crowds and the terrorist mastermind foiling his own plan by swerving to avoid a little girl who he was already okay with blowing up. Also, wouldn't the Secret Service decommission an agent who already gave his life for the President? I think Dennis Quaid's character would have been retired and living on an island somewhere.
