Ever since I saw the trailer to this movie, I have been pretty excited to see it. The basic plot behind the movie is that the President gets assassinated and you ended up watching it under fold through different vantage points via different people involved. Seemed like a fun concept. I don’t think it did well with the critics because yes, you do end up watching the same 10 minutes of the film a few times, in a new perspective. Not everyone can put up with that. That aside, the movie was decent, not ground breaking by any means but maybe worth a little more than it gets credit for. Some drawbacks to the movie were; sub-par acting (with the exception of Forest Whitaker) and some over-the-top moments. Obviously, it’s a movie but there are some parts in the movie that made me say, “Really?”. I do enjoy big plot twists and this movie had a couple of them, although they were almost too predicable.
Bottom line is that this movie is probably worth a watch for most but not a must see. It’s a completely average film, that’s all.
