Best part of story, including ending: The movie is about to deliver a special theory, vantage point. I never saw any other movie like it. It connects previous plots with different viewpoints to reveal the truth. Really amazing.

Best scene in story: At the very end when the independent American tourist Whitaker saved a young girl in the middle of the road from an accident, at the same time assassins car being crashed to save the girl too. And agent Barnes found the president in that car alive.

Opinion about the main character: Agent Barnes is a complete genius. After the explosion he didn't afraid at all. Instantly he started to investigate the events that occurred before it. Really a brave acting.
