Review of World Trade Center (2006) by Ben G — 07 Apr 2009

Provides the same type of cheap emotions as a roller coaster, of course I cried a lot in front of so much courage and solidarity, of course the abnegation of these men was admirable, but ultimately the film's pretty poor.

O. Stone did not really think outside the box. Most of the film actually takes place outside the building, away from the trapped men. Each flash back brings its due amount of cheap emotions. Had the all film been set inside the rumbles, it would have been a unique feat, but there, I felt like I was watching a House MD episod.
