Vantage Point(dir. Pete Travis)
OK. This is one of the most ridiculous movies I've ever seen. Dennis Quaid's character gets blown up, gets in multiple car accidents including one that involved a semi and a wall making a sandwich of car crash madness with him in the middle, and gets shot and yet, he was still able to walk perfectly fine after all this hurt. It also contains a variety of other equally ludicrous pleasures like a little girl that is so dumb that she stands in the middle of the road, waiting for an ambulance to plow through her before getting rescued and several over-the-top plot twists. The film slightly takes itself too seriously and I'm sure all the individuals involved thought the film would be "important" because of it's vaguely topical demeanor, but if it wasn't for this attitude, it wouldn't have been as perversely entertaining as it was. I have a feeling that this is going to be a future camp classic and this is the best film I've seen so far from this year. I slightly recommend.
