Unmoving and cliched
Oliver Stone is not known for making subtle films but even by his standards this is bombastic and cliched. Some truly dreadful moments - especially in the flashback scenes and any scene featuring the marine where the script is toe curling. He evens resorts to visions of Jesus and the final scenes where Stone tries to make links between 9/11 and Iraq is unforgiveable. The only reason to see this film is for the terrific sound effects when the buildings collapse. If you want to see a moving film about the tragedy and heroism of that terrible day see Flight 93.

Exceptional
Exceptional film, very moving in moments with impressive acting from all involved. Gave you the feeling of being alongside the cops when the building collapsed. Frightening bangs and crashes along the way.Thoughtprovoking. Nicolas Cage is always a good actor so no problems there. Great supporting cast told the storyline from beginning to end. Would definitely watch again.
