Inside Plaza Mayor in Salamanca, Spain the president (William Hurt) is preparing himself to make a speech on the anti-terrorism international summit
For months, President Ashton has been working with leaders from five continents to take a stand against global terror
Security services were on high alert
But suddenly agent Thomas Barnes (Dennis Quaid) saw something like a flash of light and two shots were heard
The president appears to have been hit
It also appears there was a mysterious woman with the name of Veronica (Ayelet Zurer) throwing 'something' underneath the podium
But soon Barnes discovers that something has gone rogue and there's something else going on
It's like somebody has been set up
It's like this war will never end
Viewed through different points of view and multiple perspectives, "Vantage Point" is an extremely energetic motion picture featuring the best I've seen of car chases used to maximum effect by director Pete Travis
