Don't waste your time or money

Rating: 1/10 (20 August 2006)

This is by far the WORST movie I have ever seen. What happened to Oliver Stone? Did he get put on the Bush administration's payroll? Okay it was horrible what those 2 men went through, but it was horrible for everyone, especially those who were here in Manhattan that day and all those who were affected by the events of 9/11. Those 2 men were brave in the sense that they got hurt doing their jobs, but they didn't even know what was happening when they got trapped in the debris. The heroes are the people that KNOWINGLY went in to save them and others trapped in the debris. Also the script supervisor should have been fired. They must have driven from the port authority to the trade center 5 times that morning, if one pays even the slightest bit of attention to the bus windows on the ride down to ground zero. The story was not compelling in the slightest and technically the movie was AWFUL. What is up with Maria Bello's eyes? Granted she (I assume) was playing a character with blue eyes, but you'd think that with Stone's budget they could have some how gotten better contacts or fixed it in post. She doesn't shed one tear in the film probably b/c her contacts would have come flying out. The whole movie was republican/ right wing propaganda. How could a director, especially one like Stone, actually tell such a boring and unemotional story with a subject matter like that of 9/11? Save your money and your time!!
