Error creating thumbnail: File missing Vantage Point (2008) 'Vantage Point' is a 2008 action thriller focusing on an assassination attempt on the President of the United States Henry Ashton (William Hurt ) as he promotes a treaty to fight international terrorism in Salamanca, Spain told from the different view points of Global News Network producer Rex Brooks (Sigourney Weaver ), United States Secret Service Agents Thomas Barnes (Dennis Quaid ) and Kent Taylor (Matthew Fox ), video camera owner Howard Lewis (Forest Whitaker ), Spanish police officer Enrique (Eduardo Noriega ), deadly terrorists Suarez (Saïd Taghmaoui ) and Veronica (Ayelet Zurer ), and blackmailed former special forces member Javier (Edgar Ramirez ). Due to principle filming being done in Mexico City, some of the firearms in the film (notably the Beretta 92FS pisols) are reproduction blank replicas instead of blank converted registered firearms, likely due to lack of availability.
SIG-Sauer P229 The issued sidearm of USSS agent Thomas Barnes (Dennis Quaid ) is a SIG-Sauer P229 pistol chambered in 9x19mm, instead of the correct .357 SIG ammunition chambered for the real life USSS SIG pistols.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing Note how the magazine is loaded with 9mm bullets instead of .357 SIG. Error creating thumbnail: File missing A USSS agent disguised as a cleaning lady drops her SIG-Sauer P229 when gunned down by Javier (Edgar Ramirez ). Error creating thumbnail: File missing Agent Barnes fires his SIG-Sauer P229 while pursuing a vehicle on foot.

At one point in the film we see a USSS agent using the newer SIG-Sauer P229R (with a rail on the frame nose) while pursuing Enrique (Eduardo Noriega ).
Error creating thumbnail: File missing SIG-Sauer P229R - 9mm. Error creating thumbnail: File missing The USSS agent pursues Enrique with his SIG-Sauer P229R at the ready. Due to continuity error, it changes from a Bruni 8mm Beretta replica. Error creating thumbnail: File missing The agent holds his SIG-Sauer P229 on a citizen. Note the rail. Beretta 92FS The most commonly used gun in the film is the Beretta 92FS pistol, seen carried by Spanish police officer Enrique (Eduardo Noriega ), as well as all of the terrorists in the film. USSS Agent Kent Taylor (Matthew Fox ) is curious seen using a Beretta as his sidearm, instead of the correct SIG-Sauer P229 pistol typically issued to Secret Service. Many of the Berettas appear to be Bruni Model 92 8mm stage firing blank replicas. Many of them have the proper Beretta logo grips though, so they could have been installed on the props, or actual Berettas may have been used depending on location of filming.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Beretta 92FS - 9mm. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Bruni Model 92 stage firing blank prop - 8mm. Error creating thumbnail: File missing USSS agents dissarm Enrique of his Beretta, and rather unprofessionally flags his partner with the muzzle. Note how the hammer is cocked (and also shaped differently) even though the decocker is engaged, indicating the gun is a Bruni prop weapon. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Enrique reloads his Beretta. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Suarez (Saïd Taghmaoui ) gives Veronica (Ayelet Zurer ) his Beretta to execute their hostage. Note the plain Bruni grips on this model.

Glock 17 A Glock 17 with a chrome slide and fitted with a suppressor is used by the former special forces soldier Javier (Edgar Ramirez ) when he kidnaps President Ashton (William Hurt ).
File:Glock 17.jpg Glock 17 with chrome slide - 9mm. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Javier fires on Secret Service agents with his supressed Glock 17 with a chrome slide. Here he has a grip rather fitting for a formal special forces soldier (aside from not keeping the gun eye level), although his thumbs are a little high here. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Here his grip is improved. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Javier loads up his Glock 17, seen here without the suppressor. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Javier does a mid-mag reload, although he unecessarily racks the slide, which would extract the round in the chamber in real life. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Javier approaches President Ashton with his suppressed Glock 17. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Javier holds his suppressed Glock 17 on President Ashton. Beretta 84FS "Cheetah" The terrorist leader Suarez (Saïd Taghmaoui ) used a Beretta 84FS "Cheetah" to execute Javier's (Edgar Ramirez ) brother when Veronica (Ayelet Zurer ) fails to do so.

Glock 26 The terrorist leader Suarez (Saïd Taghmaoui ) draws a Glock 26 when Agent Barnes (Dennis Quaid ) comes to rescues President Ashton.
