Ok, the girl wanted to go see this tonight, so we went. I didn't know it was even out and have heard nothing about it. I understand this is a touchy subject, but I am saying this from an entertainment/informative stand point.
This movie was neither.
If someone knew little or nothing about 9/11, they would leave this movie thinking two people got trapped underground, and were rescued by millions of cops.
That is basically the whole 2 hours of the movie.
It did not make it out to be a huge tragedy. It did not show the devastation. It did not show anything to be honest. This is because nothing happened in the whole movie. The planes crashing, buildings falling, and the devastation of the event was covered in the first 5 minutes, with the rest showing 2 police trapped underground talking, seeing Jesus, and having flashbacks from loving their wives.
Basically, I have seen better films of 9/11 on the internet. I think they could have conveyed it better, especially with making a movie of it so soon and being such a touchy subject.
So. See it if you must. Drink a redbull before you go.
Now you don't even have to read the rest of this thread. /endthread
