 No spoiler here: Terrific, tense, thrilling film September 7, 2008
This film is a tightly packed work of art. While the same timeframe is told from a number of different perspectives, each provides depth and richness, not only to the plot, but also frequently to the characters. And therein lies the increasing tension of the film.
All is not what it seems, and I won't give any of it away here, but this movie is worth the attention a viewer is required to pay it.
Each story unveils more of the interwoven stories, and the overall plot advances with skilled editing.
 It was boring!!! September 7, 2008
This movie was boring and the story was not fun. The movie script was good and the movie scene was good. Anyway It kept the scene begining the start. I was bored. I didn't enjoy this movie, sorry.

Brilliant September 1, 2008

Absolutely brilliant story telling. We get to see several perspective on the same event and how it affects different persons involved. The camera shots were a masterpiece...makes you feel as if you were there in the midst of the chaos. As for the car chase scene...it was the icing on the cake for that thriller suspense.
 From My Vantage Point It is one of the Worst August 31, 2008
This movie sports an all-star cast, but that is about all it has going for it. Firstly, it is too short for all the action in it yet it still tries to develop characters and that just falls flat. We get about 30 seconds of a character's background. Secondly, the events are completely unreasonable. The details of the terrorist attack are just non-sensical considering the amount of the security that occurs in any function involving the President. A few terrorists kill a troop of secret service men as if those guarding the President were henchman working for Dr. Evil in an Austin Power's movie. Thirdly, no reason is ever given for why a group of hodge-podge Moroccans would kill dozens of innocent people and the President of the USA. The characters in on the plot could or would never pull it off either.
The worst aspect of the movie is the attempt to create suspense by continually rewinding the events and showing the same time period from about 6-7 different characters' "vantage points." The result is that it completely disrupts any flow the movie would have and prevents viewers from connecting with any of the characters. All-in-all it leads to only about 15 mins. worth of actual time passing in the movie's events.
The ending also is illogical, not to mention the impossibility of a secret service agent in a high speed chase through unfamilar narrow streets filled with cars and pedstrians, on the sidewalk, down stairs, shifting, sliding, turning, etc and of course making cell phone calls, then getting completely smashed by a big truck and a wall, and surprise..getting out and chasing down the bad guys.
