Unbelievably Boring & Predictable

Rating: 2/10 (13 August 2006)

I actually nodded off within the first 1/2 hour after waiting with anticipation for months to see this insipid movie (I refuse to call it a film.) While the actors and directors tried desperately to be evocative, they merely came across as cliché and wooden. I was actually muttering what the characters would say before they said it. Thankfully, there was no one sitting very close as the theater was 3/4 empty and this was Friday (8/11) night. I would recommend waiting for the video, but only if you get to see it for free. This movie paid tribute to 9/11 the same way "Crash" explored racism...very superficially. If you want to see an inspiring movie about September 11th watch 911 by the Naudet Brothers. Much more stirring and you feel all the same feelings you felt that day...rage, anger, sadness and fear. I actually took tissues to "World Trade Center" thinking I would need them and wound up using them to spit my gum into them and toss them in the trash on the way out.
