Okay, they tout eight different points of view. After the third rewind of the time line and change of characters you begin to think this is going to be nothing more than 24 for the big screen. Fortunately, we don't have to go all the way through each POV which makes this a bearable effort. The ensemble cast does a pretty good job but the screenplay could have done without Forrest Whitaker's character--pure 'human interest'.
There is one hell of a car chase for those of you that have prominent brows and the stars are Opel Astras (Saturns) with nice exhausts soon to be sold here. Lots of violence done tastefully. And, the plot gets more bent the further we get into the story.
Not wanting to stick up the place with spoilage, I will say I was rather disappointed with the ending as your imagination is left up to sorting out the consequences of a terrorist act, an uber right-wing conspiracy, and a POTUS that has a lot of explaining to do.
Good popcorn movie, if you can find good popcorn.
