Vantage Point (2008)

Recommended Posts

Watched this again recently, I was impressed by the ambition of what they were going for but man this movie makes no fucking sense. So one of the terrorists in this movie is being forced to participate in the plot because they kidnapped his brother and they need his skills as a sharpshooter. But rather than have him use his skills as a sniper to shoot the President's double and then leave him to be caught and blamed or just kill him and leave his body to be found, they make him kidnap the President and kill his security team. Despite the fact that the terrorists had an inside man in the Secret Service and easily could have had him or a team of people do the same thing without the need to force someone by kidnapping  their family member. 

Also if they're going to use a robot to fire the gun that shot the President's double why in the fuck did the corrupt agent go back to the room and retrieve the gun. Wouldn't one of the perks of using an automated gun would be being able to just leave it there. How is using a robot and then returning to the hotel room to pick up the gun an easier or better solution than just having a person do it and then take the gun with them. Why wouldnt they just use an untraceable gun?
