I thought this movie was supposed to be a drama...

Rating: Null/10 (1 July 2001)

I'll come right out and say it. I did not want to see this movie. I was really not in the mood to watch some big, Titanic-esque tear-jerker that would leave me depressed for the whole week. As it turned out, I laughed through the whole movie. This does not mean I'm a heartless creep that laughs at people's pain; it was just that all the potentially sob-worthy moments were scripted in such a way that you couldn't help grinning. The whole script is corny, contrite and contains clichés from every other movie! All the seemingly "emotional" moments just make you groan unappreciatively. I think the movie would have been better if they'd placed the main concentration on the actual attack, as the whole first half struck me as unnecessary padding. (And in a three-hour plus movie, the only thing that needs padding is your seat).
However, the attack sequence is incredible, and pretty much covers the price of admission.
My chief gripes with this movie were: REALLY bad dialogue, predictability (it's pretty easy to tell whose going to get bumped off) and an overwhelming sense of corniness. I'd say 7/10 for effects and 1/10 for the rest of it. (Hey, the ability to turn tragedy into comedy is not always a gift).
