Revealing mistake: Forest Whitaker has been running after the secret service agents for a while, but when he stops to film the cop getting shot, he isn't remotely out of breath.
Vantage Point (2008)
1 revealing mistake - chronological order
Directed by: Pete Travis
Starring: Dennis Quaid, Forest Whitaker, Sigourney Weaver, William Hurt, Bruce McGill, Matthew Fox
Factual error: The flag on the outer left of the square keeps changing between the correct flag for Germany (horizontal black, red, yellow) as seen from the aerial shot when the bomb explodes, and a wrong version (horizontal red, yellow, black) which can be seen when Howard Lewis first accesses the square. (00:34:25)
President Ashton: He doesn't even look like me.
Trivia: Bill Clinton was interviewed for this movie to get the perspective of the President and how he would interact with his entourage.
Question: In Thomas Barnes' perspective, near the end of it, he orders the studio guy to rewind the tape and then he says "stop", followed by "oh my god", but when the complete terrorist plan is shown, he instead stays staring at the monitor because he's watching Taylor. Is this a mistake, or are these two separate events? If it is the second one, what did he see in his perspective?

Answer: From what I remember, it's the former. When Barnes says "stop," he adds "rewind that." Once the tape is re-round, he watches it run through, which is then when he spots Taylor.
