Great Film!

Rating: 10/10 (14 August 2006)

When I read reviews I sometimes wonder if we were seeing the same movie. I thought this film was fantastic from beginning to end - 2 hours went by so fast I couldn't believe it was over. I was on the edge of my seat and holding on to my husband's arm without even realizing it and he got choked up several times. It has been a long time since I felt like jumping out of my seat and cheering but this movie made me feel that way. Props to Oliver Stone for a very well done film - and to Nic Cage and Michael Pena as well. I liked the way the film focused on the first few hours after the event - when it seemed we were all united by shock, fear and grief. That feeling of unity was all too brief, and while the film also brought back terrible feelings of that awful day it was a story of the triumph of the human spirit as well. Highly recommended - loved it!
