This was the most boring film Oliver Stone ever made.

No I didn't walk out but I was disappointed with it. It was just two men being trapped inside the WTC and they were just talkin through the whole film. Nothing good goes on. Another disappointing 9/11 movie. If another 9/11 movie comes out I probably won't see it.

went into this film without expectations. I saw Flight 93 and enjoyed it and I am very interested in all events surrounding September 11th, so this film appealed to me. Now, I must say that I am not an Oliver Stone fan, however, upon hearing this movie was nothing like an Oliver Stone film I decided to check it out.
The storyline for the film, as stated, was based on the stories of a few Port Authority police who survived the collapse of the building while being trapped for hours in the rubble. At the beginning we are introduced to each of the characters and their families. It's enough to get us involved with each of them but leaves enough room to elaborate as the film unfolds. The film moves rather nicely without going too fast or slow. The vast amount of the film takes place after the towers collapse while the men are trapped in the rubble. The story is told through the trapped police officers current situation as well as what their families are going through at the same time.
I felt this story to be very natural and not Hollywood-ized, something I had been worried would happen. All the events seemed plausible, they didn't throw anything in for added drama. All of the characters were completely believable and you ended up loving all of them by the end. I will caution you though, there are some intense scenes in this movie so if you are unable to deal with some of the events from that day you may not want to see the film.
The cinematography and sound really aided this film. All of the filming was crisp and clean, the special effects were great and you could hardly tell this had been filmed after the towers were gone (the shots containing the towers that is). There were some great scenes from life in new york; shots of the skyline and the subway as well as some breathtaking aerials. The sound was spot on, you could feel the building collapse as the scenes unfolded on the screen. It was a great job all around.
Overall I was pleasantly surprised at how good this was, it lived up to Flight 93, although it has an entirely different feel to it. This film is not ground-breaking work, but it wasn't meant to be. It was meant to tell the story of a few brave men and their families and their experiences during September 11th, and it accomplished this very well.

So, in case you've been alive in the time of WWII you've gotten objected to each and every of the conflict video clips that were being made about what the jap did? you've gotten thrown a in good condition over the free lips posters? there's a section in this united states that needs to be reminded that we are at conflict with an enemy that declared conflict on us interior the 1970s and the purely thanks to offer up it truly is to totally defeat them. for my area, i do not imagine i am going to flow. After Flight ninety 3 i had to kill someone, not something i particularly get excitement from, yet then i have by no ability forgotten about the monsters which have attacked us continually because the Iranians taking on our embassy in the time of Carter's failed Presidency.

I was disappointed in the movie... they could have made it much better. I really liked Oliver Stone's work in The 4th of July

I'm so sorry that you wasted your money. Oliver Stone has NEVER made a movie worth seeing.

THIS MOVIE WAS NOT MADE TO SATISFY THE MORBID OR THRILL SEEKERS , BUT TO SIMPLY TELL THE STORY OF TWO VERY BRAVE MEN AND THERE EXPERIENCE. UNLIKE THE TITANIC AND OTHER VARIOUS ACTUAL LIFE EVENTS THIS MOVIE WAS NOT EMBELLISHED OR DRAMATIZED , BUT IN MY OPINION WAS DONE AS REALISTICALLY AS POSSIBLE. AND SEEING IT THREW THERE EYES (THE OFFICERS) MADE IT EVEN MORE OF A PERSONAL EXPERIENCE. ALL I COULD DO IS GASP IN HORROR AT THE PENDING DOOM THESE PEOPLE MUST HAVE FELT , AND OVERWHELMING SADNESS FOR THE LOVED ONES LOST.
