Different opinion than the rest...

Rating: 3/10 (2 May 2007)

Dull. Unexpressive. I still think people rely on their memory and personal emotional impact of this tragedy to praise this movie too highly. (Although I am Brazilian, I was living in the US at the time, and had friends in the WTC Towers...). The newscast at the time was more interesting than this movie.
Characters are cold, the story is slow and overly drawn out, and doesn't offer anything over what we already know. The original story is horribly tragic with a touch of hope, yet this movie does a terrible job of really conveying this. What a shameful way to bring just a powerful story to the screen.
The impact of this movie relies solely on the horror a lot of people felt that day and after, and all the other feelings associated with it. Badly directed, distracting camera work, and lackluster acting.
YMMV
