Thumbs up in my book.

Rating: 9/10 (21 October 2006)

I thought this was a great movie!
It was very sad but that is to be expected; 9-11 was and still is a very sad day. Oliver Stone did an excellent job in his fidelity to the port authority cops' story.
The movie was done in such a way that you are reminded of what matter most in life: Family and Love. Two things we take for granted every day. There was also an apparition of Christ encouraging one of the cops to fight to stay alive. It is nice to see a movie that does not try to hide or cover up the Christian Faith and then portrays it accurately.
The movie has helped me to remember to tell my loved ones: "I love you" more often and to act that way towards them always because we do not know how long this life will be. It was nice to see the values of love portrayed correctly and how people are strengthened and survive from true, authentic Love.
This was a hard and very sensitive event to make into a movie. It was respectfully made; done in such a way as to respect the people who were affected. It focused on the positive and showed the heroism of many people during those days. I would encourage all people to see this movie. If anything you will want to go home and tell the people you love the most: "I love you and I just wanted you to know that".
I give it 5 stars!!!
