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 15 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 the depth of the script. Comparing it to a puzzle where you can't really take any piece out. It started out as pondering the Kennedy assassination and imagining what someone would think if they saw the second gunman. Making the news media one of the perspectives, what you would have seen, sitting at home. Originally Rex was male, but they wanted at least one strong female lead character in there. How she's a control freak, and she's "seen everything", so when the initial shooting shakes her up, it's all the more effective. If there is a main protagonist, it's Thomas Barnes. His journey through it. Taylor originally joined the Secret Service with good intentions; however, something switched along the way, and he became a sleeper. The relationship between the two of them is father-son, or older-to-younger-brother, Cain and Abel, that sort of thing. Lewis is the everyman thrown into the nightmare world. Enrique evolved a lot. Veronica and Suarez are both independent and that's what makes them interesting. They tried to make the President one that you would vote for. Javier is forced to do things he doesn't want to do. They felt that he lacked motivation to do bad things before they came up with the idea of his younger brother. The handing over of the bag caused a lot of problems, as they tried to change one thing and then had to adjust everything else. Making sure each of the stories has a twist.
I recommend this to any fan of the property. 8/10
