I did not initially intend to watch this movie, thinking it was another cop-crook action movie. And I was dead wrong! Thanks to a friend who went for it and told this to me "It's different, it's a story told in 8 different perspectives, and the different stories all come to one at the end". When I heard that, I knew I had to watch it, and yes luckily I did not miss this movie.

And how can I sum up this movie, well what my friend said says it all. The plot seemed simple, US president gets assisinated while giving a speech in Spain, chaos ensues and different lives (of the main casts) collides. What entails is the stories told in each of their perspectives, each slowly peeling deeper into unveiling the killer's identity, and at the same revealing more twists which keep the viewers guessing.

What I also like about this movie besides the impressive ensemble cast, is that its takes us into different journeys of the main casts, each making us feel for their emotions, their parts of the story, their reasons for their actions, and at the same time teasing us with some suspicion as to who is the actual killer. With a huge twist at the end, coupled with great action stunts, this movie is definitely worth watching. Don't miss it!
