World Trade Center (2006)
I dunno what I was expecting out of this movie, but It was just “okay” for me. I am, by no means, downplaying what happened that day, but I felt like it was overly dramatic. I’m not saying it’s not an amazing story, the story of those two men is absolutely amazing – and they were only 2 of TWENTY people that were pulled from that mess. That’s pretty amazing in and of itself. It was just a little heavy on the drama for me. I know it was a “docudrama”, so I guess I should have known

From director Oliver Stone comes this gripping docudrama set amid the rubble of Sept. 11, 2001. Working under treacherous conditions, an army of dedicated rescuers desperately hopes to find anyone who survived the World Trade Center’s tragic collapse. Their efforts pay off when they unearth Port Authority police officers John McLoughlin (Nicolas Cage) and William J. Jimeno (Michael Pena) trapped near an elevator shaft.
