“Vantage Point” Movie Review
“Vantage Point” Plot Summary
The attempted assassination of the American President is told and re-told from several different perspectives.
Fun Crime Thriller
I really liked this movie for what it was. I’m not really sure what other people were expecting to give it what I believe to be unfair and too harsh critiques, but this is a good movie. It is not perfect, nor is it great, nor did it show me something I have never seen before, but it is a nice little crime thriller done in a unique manner
I have read that a lot of people felt that it was boring to see the same story played out over and over. But wasn’t that the point of this film? We knew that was going to be the case coming into this movie. And the thing of it is is that there is enough different in each perspective where it is not a bore to see the same instance multiple times. I liked how it was up to the viewer to try to piece things together and figure out exactly what happened and who the culprit really is. This is a good movie if you are not looking for anything great or mind blowing. I do enjoy when I see a great, mind blowing film, but I’m not expecting it every time that I sit down to watch a movie. I do not see any reason to dislike this movie. It’s good for what it is and if you’re in the market for an entertaining, ‘who dunnit?’ crime thriller I say ‘Vantage Point’ makes for a fun watch.

“Point Break” Movie Review
“Point Break” Plot Summary
An FBI agent goes undercover to catch a gang of bank robbers who may be surfers.
Loved it!
Just watched this movie again, and while on the surface it looks like a stereotypical action flick, and in some ways maybe it is, I was actually surprised how much I enjoyed it
There were a few things that were a little contrived, at least for a ‘cop movie.’ I don’t understand why the chief of police always has to be written as a jerk or why there is always those two arrogant cops that crack jokes all the time, etc. A minor gripe, however
I originally saw this movie in the 90s when it was newer. Now that it’s had time to age, it feels like a classic, and kept me yearning for those good old days when action films weren’t all about superheroes, redundant CGI usage and mindlessly drawn-out action scenes. They really don’t make ‘em like they used to. Everything is proportionate, the special effects are as real as they can be, and the characters grab hold of you. Why is character development seemingly so hard to find these days? Granted, I’m not a big Keanu Reeves fan, but it’s not necessarily the actors that make this movie. It’s everything about it. The story in this film is rock solid. It’s a thriller wrapped in a collage of fantastic cinematography and spectacle. The ocean and surfing scenes are beautifully shot, even artsy in a way. All in all, the story and the action are successfully interwoven to deliver a ‘pure adrenaline’ caper. It’s an interesting combination of human drama and extreme edginess, and yet it works.

“Enemy of the State” Movie Review
“Enemy of the State” Plot Summary
A lawyer becomes a target by a corrupt politician and his NSA goons when he accidentally receives key evidence to a serious politically motivated crime. add synopsis
The smartest thriller ever made
In 1998, I was only about seven years old and therefore I couldn’t see it in the theaters because of the rating, but my guess is, the entire world got a wake-up call to the horrifying truth about their government. And the thing is, everything that happened in ‘Enemy of the State’ is very, very possible of happening. But that’s just me thinking, ’cause it was over 11 years ago and and I couldn’t remember if I tried. Did this movie do the same thing to the government as ‘Jaws’ did to the beaches? Perhaps
The movie is about a highly accomplished lawyer named Robert Clayton Dean played by Will Smith in the performance of his career and makes an extremely believable character and expresses his emotions of anger and paranoia just perfectly. Dean accidentally gets a videotape of a covered-up political murder and in most of the movie, he doesn’t realize it. But he’s aware that the people (NSA agents) chasing him are watching him for sinister purposes. Robert Dean is also one of the smartest characters in the history of films, as he is able to outsmart a corrupt agency who have practically everything on him, such as satellites, tracers and cameras
Gene Hackman also stands out as the gruff, foul-mouthed former conspirer and government agent named Brill, who has had experience in surveillance technology and assists Dean in getting away from these dirty agents. However, Hackman doesn’t show up until after the first hour, but that demonstrates his character who has spent most of his life hiding and it shows the secretiveness of Brill. Although the role is somewhat smaller, Hackman makes the best of it
And as for the NSA agents played by Jon Voight, Barry Pepper, Seth Green and Jack Black…..all of these guys are DIRTY, and I mean that in the truest meaning possible. These guys are ruining an innocent man’s life, screwing up his credit cards, and even wrecking his marriage just so they can get away with what they did. Believe me, you are gonna find yourself HATING these guys, and I mean it. And as movie villains go….you’re supposed to hate them, sometimes in other movies, you might be amused or not feel anything at all, but ‘Enemy of the State’ does what it’s supposed to do. Also, they’re very realistic ’cause they aren’t stupid and they know what they’re doing with all the technology they have
Most of the film’s thrills comes from the suspense rather than the action, as much of Tony Scott’s films are like. The chase scenes such as the beginning when the NSA guys are going after Zavitz and when they’re chasing Dean in the hotel and on the streets are terrificly shot and edited. Also, later on the action comes in after Dean and Brill run from the agents is also a highlight, and it’s pretty hilarious after Dean asks Brill why he blew up the building and he reacts by saying ‘Because you made a phone call!’ which demonstrates how careful he is. And of course the ending stand-ff between the agents and the Italian mob is absolutely bad@$$ in the true sense of the word
I absolutely love ‘Enemy of the State’ and support its position as one of the best thrillers of all time, because its very smart and doesn’t treat the audience like they’re a bunch of idiots. Buy it, rent it or borrow it from a friend, and watch the movie that happens to be the smartest thriller ever made….
