Caught this film on Saturday night last in UCI Coolock. Had been looking forward to it since seeing the trailer before christmas. Anything to do with snipers has me quids in from the start, that and the fact that Mathew Fox has a lead role in it made so Mrs Ben is also looked after.

The film is about the events that lead up to the assasination of the US President while he is attending a summit on anti-terrorism. I say lead up due to the fact that it doesn’t really follow on from that point and finishes with a fizzle rather than a bang. It shows the run up to the assasination from diferent *ahem* Vantage Points, the TV crew, a bent cop, the Secret Service and the president himself.

The film gets annoying with the constant rewinds and double up on dialog. Then thrown in are completely pointless characters for no purpose and once the film tries to develop the characters it just seems to rewind and start from scratch again.

The ending is weak and just not believable. The best bit about this film is the trailer, but i can safely say once you’ve seen the trailer, you’ve seen the film. The film’s rewind and rewind approach will have you annoyed and it’s one of those films that the whole cinema will sigh out in annoyance!
