Movie Reviews of World Trade Center (Full Screen Edition)
Movie Review: This film does not do justice to the TRUE Heroes of 911.
Summary: 1 Stars
The men who died and risked their lives were true heroes, and true men of honor, not this band of candy-coated liberal sissies that made the movie.
I'm sorry they missed the chance to film a movie that would truly honor the fallen and be a memorial to them. This is just another heap of Hollywood and Liberal media style bs.
Oh please. Of all people to play the part of a heroic paramedic risking his life to save others, Nicholas Cage? Cage? The talentless actor who makes millions per year, couldn't act his way out of a paper bag, doesn't even do the minimum expected that any of us would do if we were in such a fortunate position--working out, fixing his male pattern baldness, taking acting lessons, looking decent, etc. If anything, he is the OPPOSITE of the character he was casting.
Storyline does not even remotely follow the truth about what happened that day among the real people the story was supposed to be about.
Shame on everyone who created this film. Very sorry job.

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 Pe?a), 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
