Perfectly adorable

Excellent, a Must See

The first must-see film of the year.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Super! Perfect cast , actual story! I Even being brazilian i was sleeping in that day at that time, day off, living in Manhattan, at 50th st and 9th ave, 9/11. I woke up, turned on my computer and make my Verizon DSL Connection through America Online provider and right in the front of me , i snapshot of two towers firing in. I thought that was a new hollywood movie, but that was real,so i ran to the window to see waht was going on. I changed my clothes and got down to seee if i could do something to help. O was in shock like everyone anyway. Was really bad to see Manhattan in that way, looking like a ghost city, people coming from south, Downtow, to the north , Uptown. Was really saddy. The greast city that i felt in love. Happy to see you UP again NYC. Miss you!

I don't know what's worse, the sheer tastelessness of releasing this film directly on the anniversary of 9/11 as a cash grab, or the flat acting of Charlie Sheen. The whole premise of this movie should be shocking, heart-wrenching and powerful, yet it's watered-down, laughable and just plain weird in this. There are so many better movies on the subject of 9/11 that don't rely on tasteless performances and overdramatic dialogue, and I recommend you watch something else instead, not that I'm really an expert on what's good and what isn't.

In the closing screen credits, the filmmakers of "9/11" implore the audience to "never forget" the tragic events of September 11, 2001. Unfortunately, this film treatment is all-too-forgettable.The film was adapted from a work of theater by Patrick James Carson, and, predictably, the characters are wooden and the dialogue is stage-bound. It is fairly difficult to "open up" the environment of a trapped-in-an-elevator story into a work of cinema. As the five passengers stuck between the 37th and 38th floors of the North Tower realize, they must pass the time through a deep, profound confessional about their lives. But the confessionals were neither deep nor profound.There was an effort to bring star power to the film in the casting of Charlie Sheen as Jeffrey Cage, the former "king of Wall Street," who visited the World Trade Center on 9/11 in order to finalize his divorce with his wife Eve (Gina Gershon). Luis Guzmán plays the dedicated "custodial engineer" Eddie. Olga Fonda is the gorgeous woman (Eddie is chided for calling her a mija who merits the score of "10") who has come to the tower to break off a relationship with an older man. And Wood Harris plays Eddie, the messenger, who reluctantly went to work that day instead of spending it with his daughter on her birthday. Whoppi Goldberg's character is fumbling around in the control room, helpless in her efforts to assist the apparently doomed souls trapped in the elevator.It is important to remember the victims and heroic first responders of 9/11. But this film played out more like a maudlin made-for-television movie than a feature film that sought to memorialize one of the most awful days in our history.

It is insulting that this movie was made. Charlie Sheen is a 9/11 'truther'.
