Watch 9/11 For Free

To me, this movie is perfection.

One of my all time favorites.

Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

Captivating movie !

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.

I guess maybe because I lost a family member on 9/11 this film really hit home for me. The acting was much better than what previous reviews have stated. Much of the story dealt with the real life emotions that m"Elany of the people trapped in the towers must have been going through. The ending was not your typical disaster movie ending as well. The writing of this film is based on the play "Elevator" and it is obvious that much thought and research went into the writing of it. "9/11" is a terrific film based on one of the darkest days our nation has ever seen and this film presented the story with much acuracy and compassion .

This movie was better than expected. There's not much more that can be said or written about 9/11 - it's part of history. However, this movie is about the will to survive no matter what. You really can't laugh about that. Charlie Sheen actually commits to a serious portrayal of a character. While we expected this to be a waste of time, it wasn't. It's an okay movie. The characters are as developed as they can be, given that this is a just minutes of their lives. Whoopi Goldberg's performance is notable (in a good way) as is that of Luis Guzmán.

This is a fictional account of 5 people stuck in an elevator during the 9/11 attack. We are given quick character build-up on all five plus the operator. Charlie Sheen could have played himself. The film used stock footage of the attack and inserted an anachronistic speech by President Bush. The characters were not that note worthy. There are far better films of people stuck in an elevator. The dialogue wasn't great. Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.
