Should've been a mini-series

Rating: 7/10 (14 October 2018)

If you like military historicals, then this is fine. I had two problems to note: the first is that they've got Rob Riggle (better known for comedic roles) playing the serious role of Col. Bowers. If he's trying to break into action/drama, fine, but this wasn't the film to do that, IMHO. Second, a film of 2 hrs doesn't do justice to material like this. This story should be a mini-series at least. There's a LOT going on in the month following 9/11 and squeezing into 2 hrs gives important events short shrift. Outside of those two things, the film was decent enough, full of good ole American bravado which may have been over-dramatized but whatever, it's entertaining and educational enough.
