World Trade Center

The film itself is unremarkable, with the most compelling aspect being the real story behind it. Unfortunately, such a story is inevitably constrained in adaptation, leaving most of the content between the beginning and the end unable to fully showcase the talents of Oliver Stone, Nicolas Cage, and the rest of the excellent cast.

Gut wrenching movie - it’s a very specific movie to the involvement of a couple guys - so don’t expect it to give you the full story. It’s amazing how much more of an emotional tug a movie can be when you know the real, full story.

pretty damn cool however much of the movie is spent under the rubble with the protagonists. To be expected from a movie based on such an event but its not for everyone.

I excpected it to be better. Nic is ok but there are strong performances from Michael Peña and Maggie Gyllenhaal. There are two good cameos and the setpieces are awasome. The finale is one of the most satisfying I have ever seen.

I thought I was excellent..Nicholas Cage was great!

While not as powerful as fellow 9/11 film United 93, World Trade Center is still a poignant drama with great performances from its actors and mercifully avoiding any "inside job" conspiracy theories given who the director is. I think the pacing would've been better if they kept the focus solely on these two police officers trapped in the WTC's wreckage (good job on I'm guessing a combination of production designers and VFX artists for how they designed its remains like something straight out of a post-apocalyptic film...which I suppose IRL it essentially was; I know some people who were half asleep and when they saw it on the news mistook it for a movie clip) and the attempts made to rescue them. But all in all, this is still a decent film that does a good job paying its respects to the victims of one of the most shocking terrorist attacks in history, even if I still prefer the aforementioned United 93's docudrama approach rather than this film's more conventional narrative structure.

this movie is terrible. if you want to get traumatized its a must watch.

underrated movie. would recommend

Pretty good acting even though I'm not a Cage fan obviously the story line was there and didn't deviate from history and showed some street level things we may not have known good movie better than most thank you

Nice tribute but not a great movie. Too motionless. Good acting
