Review of World Trade Center (2006) by Lindal. — 11 Aug 2006

A cathartic experience that will bring tears to your eyes about nine times, it's meant to tell just a narrow part of the 9/11 story. In that, it succeeds pretty well. I thought the film had an elegant look, actually subtle in a way, with just one really spectacular shot.

It's a relief to have the human angle of 9/11 with no politicking. I would've added a point had the Irish cop been played by anyone other than Nicolas Cage, who seemed ridiculously wrong for the part.
