Vantage Point (film)
''Vantage Point'' is a 2008 American political action thriller film directed by Pete Travis and written by Barry L. Levy.

Dennis Quaid, Matthew Fox, Forest Whitaker, William Hurt and Sigourney Weaver star. The film is often compared unfavorably to Akira Kurosawa's '' Rashomon'', which also employed storytelling through multiple perspectives.

''Vantage Point'' also explores kidnapping, assassination and terrorism. Travis, Pete (Director). (2008). ''Vantage Point'' otion picture United States: Columbia Pictur ...
