I saw Jesus! And he had a bottle of water!

Rating: 9/10 (18 October 2006)

WORLD TRADE CENTER is portrayed in typical Stone style... the rhythm of transition between scenes is bridged by elliptical "black outs". Performances are above par all through out. The opening scenes that quickly change from normalcy to the instant and unexpected pandemonium are handled very well also.
Then it progresses into scenes of a more grueling nature, featuring tension, despair and unpleasant anticipation. The sound design is excellent, as many have hyped about this film. It closes with the life affirming message from Nicolas Cage's character - a refreshing motion picture due to an apolitical perspective because it focuses on the essentials of the 2 men's accounts and those of their families. It is a film told on a very personal and candid level, very well worth catching if you want to know the story of the 2 men who went to risk their lives; but in return were the ones in need of the salvation and risk from the men who found themselves having that task to accomplish for them.
