[Not a] Recommendation: "Pete Travis makes history."

Vantage Point, dir. Pete Travis, 2008. I mention this film not because this is a recommendation. I mention this film because it is the worst movie that I have ever seen. I am unable to fathom how this script got funding, which gutter they grabbed Pete Travis out of, or why they proposed to execute a film in such a haphazard fashion. This was the sloppiest, most disgusting excuse for a movie I have ever had the displeasure of sitting through. The film tells the story of a supposed U.S.-presidential assassination in Cordoba, Spain. This flimsy premise is told from around 7 or 8 perspectives over the course of the film - each time the president is shot [or around that time], the movie "rewinds" [and this is quote possibly the most annoying, agonizing gimmick in the history of cinema - I felt like I was sitting through a piss-poor version of No Exit] and we are brought back to approx. 20 minutes before the president is shot. Oh, don't worry, I'm not giving anything away. It gets worse. So much worse. Wooden acting - the actors look like they're just as aware as the audience that this script sucks. Poorly executed CGI. AND this is a movie about terrorism - yet the film refuses to take ethics into consideration - it's just like Pete Travis said, "oh, here's a movie, I made it yesterday in iMovie. I thought if I hired enough great actors and had them perform terribly for 80 minutes, it might make a splash - you know, art or something." Oh, Pete Travis... it made a splash for me. I threw up afterwards. [The worst part about all of this: he will get funding for another movie - asshole]
