I saw this movie yesterday and it brought tears to my eyes.I know its had its fair share of bad reviews.I wouldn't say I enjoyed this movie but I think it is a story that had to be told.No movie about 9/11 will ever satisfy every single person but this movie focuses on the story of 2 police officers who against all odds survived in the most extreme of circumstances.The message I came out with after this movie is you always have hope even when it seems lost.Credit must go to oliver stone for making such a movie that do not glorify 9/11 nor give any mention of the terrorists.This movie made me realize yet again that there was an enormous amount of nypd,fire fighters and port authority staff who risked their own lives to save others and this would have been even harder as they had no idea the scale of the disaster.Credit must also go to nicholas cage(who I am no fan of).His performance in this movie must surely earn him an Oscar.At the end of the day this is a movie that tells a story and does it well.
