The-story-of-two-cops-stuck-under-a-pile-of-rocks

Rating: 2/10 (3 September 2008)

The dashes in my summary are there to emphasize that this should have been the movie's title. Well, yes, we see some images from the WTC tragedy but 90% of the movie is only about the two cops and their families.
If the movie did not have the title "World Trade Center" probably nobody would watch it. You remove a few minutes from the beginning and end of the movie and what you are left with is a below average drama with a happy ending. 9/11 was anything but a happy ending.
The movie says nothing about the "why". I think in a tragedy like this the why is the most important. I don't want to start the whole zeitgeist thing again but come on! A movie about 9/11 and you show the triumph two cops. Shame on Oliver Stone.
My biggest disappointment is that Nicolas Cage accepted a part in this movie. After movies like "Next" how could he play in this one. He is one of my favorite actors but because of this movie I don't like him that much anymore.
I actually got tired of people repeating "I love you". I have this gut feeling that the movie was only created to make some money off the people's commiseration.
