Good attempt, but doesn't stand out.

Rating: 6/10 (27 October 2016)

Grade: B
Fifteen years ago, the most horrible event of the Millennium accord. Instead of center the film on the event itself, Oliver Stone decided to focus on two police officers who were trapped in a collapsed elevator shaft while responding to the event.
The building crash is never shown on screen. You get glimpses of it through radio and television broadcasts. By doing this, it allows us to experience the event through the eyes of the responders who had no idea what had just happened.
The film spends around 45 minuets diving into the backstory of these two officer's lives. The film attempts to make these people out as heroes, but the officers are presented as being no different than any other human being, they just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time.
