OK but not that great

Rating: 3/10 (20 December 2006)

Having experienced all the events of 911 from the first moment it began, I can say this movie was a great disappointment for me. It did evoke a few emotional memories from that awful day but overall it was not what I expected from Oliver Stone. It was not much better than any other average drama. The special effects were convincing enough and yet there still seemed to be something missing. There wasn't enough detail so as to show that there were other people in the general population that were also affected. It seemed to be a story about two men only.
I think Oliver Stone is a great director and has many films to add to his achievements but I don't think this is one of them, in comparison. The cast was too small, given the magnitude of the event and all the peoples affected.
