World Trade Center

Rating: 10/10 (9 August 2006)

This is a great movie. Oliver Stone does not waste time having us get to know the characters he rather throws them into the nightmare of 9/11 right away. After this he then goes into the character's past and how that affects their will to survive. He keeps the story very entertaining through out. He never shows the planes hit the buildings nor does he show the buildings collapse. You see the events of 9/11 throw the eyes of the two police men and their family members. I believe that this is a well acted film probably the best that Nick Cage has ever done. It is not a violent as this years earlier 9/11 film United 93 but it still conveys the message of heroism by regular Americans on this day of days. Both this film and United 93 have to be my favorite films this year so far and i believe both can be nominated for best picture. This is a very good film probably Stone's best work yet.
