Totally engaging movie and exciting to boot

Rating: 10/10 (11 August 2006)

This movie was by far and away the best representation of that horrific day - 9-11-2001 - and the acting is not just good, it is great. I am not one to cry or tear up at movies, but this one will make sure that you feel those emotions. I did tear up at three or four spots - maybe even more.
Here is a spoiler - Thank God for the Marines!! If they sat back and listened to the "people in charge" I think this movie would not have been from these two policemen's view because they would have joined the more than 3,000 others that died that day. When he told the other marine (William Mapother) that if anyone challenged them to "just keep walking" and ignore the naysayers - I knew that he was following orders from above - way way above!! Also was quite nice to find out in the credits that this marine reenlisted and did two tours of duty in Iraq. If he ever reads this, or any friends of his read this, the Wilkinson family is proud of you. Semper Fi
