Editorial Comments

Description:
"World Trade Center is a film about heroism and the best in all of us," raves Good Morning America’s Joel Siegel. Academy Award winner, Nicolas Cage stars in the unforgettable true story of the courageous rescue and survival of two Port Authority policemen who were trapped in the rubble on September 11, 2001 after they volunteered to go in and help. Academy Award winning director, Oliver Stone reveals an intimate look at the events of the day as seen through the eyes of the survivors, their families and their rescuers

Amazon.com:
Regardless of whether it was "too early" in 2006 to dramatize the events of September 11th, 2001, World Trade Center succeeds as a tribute to the courage and sacrifice of those who served at "ground zero" in the wake of terrorist attacks on the WTC's twin towers in New York City. Removed from the politics of war and terrorism (yet still, like all films, inherently political in expressing its point of view), Oliver Stone's potent drama focuses on the nightmarish ordeal, and subsequent rescue, of Port Authority policemen John McLoughlin (Nicolas Cage) and Will Jimeno (Michael Peña), who were buried deeply within the rubble of the WTC after the twin towers collapsed. Granted, it's only the film's historical context that distinguishes it from any other dramatic rescue story, but in focusing on the goodness of humanity in response to the evil of terrorists who remain unnamed and off-screen, Stone and first-time screenwriter Andrea Berloff create an emotional context as powerful as anything Stone has directed since Platoon. Even as he resorts to some questionable tactics typically lacking in subtlety, Stone refrains from much of the blunt-force filmmaking that has made him a critical punching bag, rising to this challenging occasion with a heartfelt and deeply American portrait of unity – personal, familial, and national. Flaws and all, World Trade Center serves an honorable purpose, reminding us all that for those fleeting days in September 2001, America showed its best face to a sympathetic world. --Jeff Shannon

Average Rating:3.50 out of 5.00 stars

4 out of 5 starsGreat!!!
This is an awesome movie. I recommend it. This movie is made even better if seen in high definition. I gotta say I love the HD revolution. It's almost as good as being in a theater.



1 out of 5 starsUnrealistic, shallow and horribly scripted....
Oliver Stone being an iconic director, I figured this will be a winner. How wrong could I have been. pretty much the whole film revolves around the rescue of a couple of firemen AFTER the collapse of the towers.

I actually think it insults the firemen that died that day. When you watch real footage of the whole tragedy, police and rescue workers are panicking, running around with equipment to help the injured. Not in this film. They seem rather content, and when walking through the first tower to fetch oxygen tanks, they chat away without a care in the world ie. What you having for tea tonight? And, when they realise the tower is collapsing, they stand still for about 20 seocnds before making way for the rubble. Come on Oliver! What a mess.

The script is terrible. Thats all that has to be said.

As for the highlight of the movie? The shot of the first plane hitting the tower is shown threw a shadow of it upon the streets below. It last for 3 seconds in all. Wow. Oliver stone is a genius.

WATCH UNITED 93. Its much more heart pounding then this caper.



1 out of 5 starsCan I get a refund for World Trade Center?
How could Oliver Stone and Nicholas Cage work on a story that literally changed America and NOT have a "signifcant film" and a sure fire Oscar Winner? Perhaps Stone was a victim of a global conspiracy. As far as Nicholas Cage, he was totally underutilized and useless as basically a lump under some rubble with his best line being, "I don't talk much." Obviously, of the films budget slated for actors, the lion's share went to Cage since there were no other recognizable actors of significance. The script was so abyssmal it lead to a seemingly endless movie that just plodded along. The best thing I can say about this movie was that it was over and I could place the DVD in trash were it belongs.World Trade Center (Widescreen Edition)



3 out of 5 starsNot Oliver's best, but still not bad.
So I had seen this movie a while ago in theaters. I've always liked Oliver Stone films (i.e. Platoon, J.F.K, and Born on the Fourth of July). I thought that this film was a little under rated. Granted it's not his best, but is still one of Stone's better, recent films. The film has a lot of heart, and celebrates the American spirit on a day when it seemed like it was almost lost. A very moving, and touching film.



5 out of 5 starsheart breaking!!!
This movie was amazing!!! i loved it, it was sad, heartbreaking, well written all of the great thing you want in a movie!!!
