Vantage Point ***


Premise: The President of the United States is assassinated while giving a speech in Spain.

We watch what happened from 8 points of view. Lots of action but the acting is less than expected.

21 **1/2


A college professor teaches a team of brainy college whiz-kids to count cards at blackjack and flies them to Las Vegas on the weekends. Inspired by a true story. Unfortunately, the movie is weak.

The Bank Job ***

Inspired by a 1971 robbery that took place at the Lloyds Bank in Marylebone London. This high energy thriller weaves a story of high-level corruption, murder and sexual scandal.
