Synopsis:
Thomas Barnes and Kent Taylor are two Secret Service agents assigned to protect President Ashton 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 videotaping 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 to and immediately after the shooting so that the terrifying truth behind the assassination attempt is revealed.
Strengths
• an absolute action thriller • remarkable performances • no character in the story stands neglected, all play an important role in moving the story ahead in some or the other way • electronic devices in the attack scene are used quite well • the director has skilfully managed to draw out the best out of the actors
Flaws
• nothing superb about this movie, but yes, it is satisfactory • a bit of a vague subject, not for the masses • certain aspects needed more explanation • not liked by most of the audiences
To conclude, I would recommend you for this movie if you are an action lover, and not for all.
