When Kindness and Sympathy Supersedes Evilness

Rating: 7/10 (4 March 2007)

On September, 11th 2001, after the terrorist attack to the World Trade Center, the building collapses over the rescue team from the Port Authority Police Department. Will Jimeno (Michael Peña) and his sergeant John McLoughlin (Nicolas Cage) are found alive trapped under the wreckage while the rescue teams fight to save them.
"World Trade Center" is based on the accounts of the people evolved in the aftermath of this tragedy and tells the story of two of the survivors. The dramatic narrative is careful in details, and gives scary statistics inclusive that only twenty people were rescued alive from the debris, and Jimeno and McLoughlin were the eighteenth and the nineteenth survivors. This apolitical movie gives a message of hope and love and I particularly liked the conclusion two years later, when the optimistic John McLoughlin sees the kindness and sympathy of his people superseding the evilness of the murderers. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): "As Torres Gêmeas" ("The Twin Towers")
