It's NOT too soon! A short review.

Rating: 8/10 (28 July 2006)

I like many, don't think about 9/11 every day. As time goes on, we seem to forget what happened. And with our nation in it's current state, we can't let ourselves forget.
This film touched me on many levels and reminded me of how I felt that day. It hit me even harder after the film ended because that's when, no doubt, everyone will sit around and reminisce about where they were when the got the news, which I did.
One thing the film does exceptionally well is it doesn't over dramatize the events. The film is very captivating and gut-wrenching, but at no point does it seem like the drama was exaggerated. It seems REAL.
The performances were all great. There's nothing to complain about there. You really feel like you're there. And the portrayal of the fireman is incredibly real and desperate(in a good way).
Bottom line is SEE this movie for two reasons - it is a great film with realistic drama, great performances and a strong impact(I felt it the most about 30 minutes after the film's conclusion). And see it to help you remember why we can never forget and take for granted what happened on September 11th.
***On one final note. Many know that Oliver Stone's films are usually his perception of history, rather than the actual history. Well this time, he's finally done right by his source material.
