Really good powerful film. Very sad. Not at all what I was expecting. I was thinking we would see a lot more of the action from above and more detail during the event instead of afterwards. It's nice that it was based on a true story, made the story more real and sad.World Trade Center - Dina
Although this movie is centered around a very tragic event, it chooses to focus on the triumph of a very unlikely rescue and the situations leading up to it. Very sad throughout, but also surprisingly uplifting in parts. You get to take a look at some of the more personal elements of this tragedy. Very well acted and a unique view offer something you may not find elsewhere. Definitely worth watching.A powerful movie - KW--
It is always hard to watch a movie based on actual events (especially well publicized events) and I debated whether I would want to watch this movie. I am glad I did, mostly because a story like this adds hope - that there are humans that took risks to help each others, even when it appeared that there was no chance of survivial. A very touching tale that will not leave your eyes dry.
