"Vantage Point" (2008)

Thomas Barnes (Dennis Quaid) and Kent Taylor (Matthew Fox), are two Secret Service agents assigned to protect President Ashton (William Hurt) at a landmark summit on the global war on terror. When President Ashton is shot moments after his arrival in Spain, chaos ensues and disparate lives collide. In the crowd is Howard Lewis, an American tourist video-taping the historic event to show his kids when he returns home. Also there is Rex, an American TV news producer who is reporting on the conference. It's only as we follow each person's perspective of the same 15 minutes prior to and immediately after the shooting that the terrifying truth behind the assassination attempt is revealed.
Matthew Fox Talks About "Vantage Point"
"Vantage Point" follows eight witnesses to the same event - the assassination of U.S. President Ashton at a rally in Spain – as they share what they saw go down in separate vignettes. Matthew Fox’s character, Secret Service Agent Kent Taylor, is smack dab in the thick of things as one of the lead agents at the scene of the crime.
Dennis Quaid Discusses the Action Thriller "Vantage Point"
Dennis Quaid hasn’t slowed down any, even after three decades of making movies, and had no problem handling the action sequences. “It was fantastic. They really did it well too, the car chase. I guess this is my car chase of my career that I got to do,” said Quaid.

"Vantage Point" Movie Review
"Vantage Point" could quite possibly turn out to be one of the most disappointing films of 2008. Dennis Quaid, Matthew Fox and Oscar-winners Forest Whitaker and William Hurt…that’s a strong cast list.
