The same dollar value for every loss of life.

But those towers had CEO's and janitors.

They won't all say yes to the same number. ''

So even when they died exactly the same, their lives still have a different monetary value?

Where some see lives, others just see numbers.

Worth is a film that's certainly trying to make something clear, or really just to make a point.

The subject demands to be critical, although perhaps it will depend on the viewers to have a preconceived idea about how it should be considering the story it's treating.

The problem, regardless of the dramatic quality, is that instead of looking to make it incisive, the narrative gets lost in stretches because of the tiresome folly of loading the subject matter with melodrama, which inevitably detracts from what should be a more genuine emotional response.

Needless to say, for that reason this film never progresses from being a completely basic drama.

Among the latest Netflix releases, this movie can be considered quite decent. Anchored with a good performance from Michael Keaton, it's a good option. Just don't expect anything great.
