This consists of interviews with the cast and crew, all of whom have something compelling to add within their area of expertise(and there is a very clear love of what they're working on), clips from the movie, behind-the-scenes footage, and incomplete effects shots.
It's 25 and a half minutes long. This is found on the DVD of Vantage Point. It spoils a lot of the film, and so will this review, so that I can go into more detail.
They talk about how your perspective changes over the course of it. How media shapes how we see things. Script and cast being the two most important decisions that a director makes. How once you know he's a bad guy, when you look back on what Kent Taylor did, it was not nice but actually, as they put it, "barbed". All the running they had to do. The difference between the two versions of the President. Discussions they had on set, about everything under the sun. The reasons for casting Weaver, Noriega, Ramirez, Zurer. How difficult it was to shoot in Mexico city and the various challenges involved in that. The weather was the one thing they had no control over. Why they chose to use handheld camera. Making sure that it was consistent when they had two different perspectives on the same events. Keeping the same action fresh. Cliffhangers at the end of each segment.
I recommend this to any fan of the property. 8/10
