8 Strangers, 8 Points of view... 1 Truth.

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 (Forest Whitaker), an American tourist videotaping the historic event to show his kids when he returns home. Also there is Rex (Sigourney Weaver), 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.

This film has a great cast and good storyline. It follows the same story of the attempted assasination of the president of the USA and as seen/told by eight different points of view.Slightly 24 style and can get annoying to watch same story over and over but you have to keep watching in order to follow the subtle differences in the stories and what happens next. All round good action and great cast.

Customer rating: 1 out of 5 stars Genuinely one of the worst films Ive ever seen

I have been on a gap year now for the past 9 months, and in that time I have watched A LOT of films in preparation for the Film Studies course Im taking next year. This film is not worth buying, watching or even standing near. The plot is ridiculous and wholely implausible and names like Forest Whitaker, Sigourney Weaver and William Hurt make very little difference alongside despicable performances from Dennis Quaid and Matthew Fox. If its an intelligent, twist-ridden film you're looking for, try Inside Man. If its a mindless friday night, try... well anything else. If its for the guy you're torturing in your basement, then this is the perfect purchase.

Customer rating: 4 out of 5 stars Clever enough.

This film has been slammed by many for its 24 style storytelling, however I feel it works well as it shows the same incident a few times with a cliffhanger at the end of each leaving you wondering what exactly will happen next, then when the final story comes the film is neatly tied together when all the loose ends meet. This film is worth a watch as it does provide some good action scenes especially the car chase.
