Vantage Point
This multi-perspective thriller about an attempted presidential assisination is a terrible, terrible film, but the trailer accomplished the impressive feat of making it look halfway decent. Using the same hyperkinetic editing style that defines the Jason Bourne movies, the teaser hides Vantage Point‘s ridiculous story behind lots of chaotic crowd scenes and that always cool-looking fast-forward effect. No wonder audiences were duped into checking out the film opening weekend, helping it bank $23 million on its way to a $72 million overall gross.
