Never should have been made

Rating: 5/10 (5 February 2007)

I don't think Hollywood should be making any movies about 9/11. Not this, not United 93.
They would have been better served donating the money raised to finance this film to the families of those who lost people in the twin towers.
I am amazed they only got 1 big Hollywood name to try and hang this whole film on. yes, Nicolas Cage sells tickets but not all on his own. there should have been at least a few other names. And don't try telling me Maggie Gyllenhall sells tickets. I have no idea who she is or what else she's been in.
This film really can only be watched in the DVD format with the commentary of the men who were there and the rescuers (which is included along with Oliver Stone's commentary.
You will learn some interesting things you may not have previously known but this story was NEVER strong enough to be a movie. TV featurette maybe, movie, no way. Sorry.
