9/11 2017

A poorly made and rather mundane 9/11 film, 9/11 has no real story to tell or insight into the events of that day. Based on a play, the film follows five people who get trapped in an elevator in the World Trade Center during the September 11th attacks. There’s no actual plot, the characters just talk a bit about inane things and make a couple attempts at getting out of the elevator. The characters aren’t fleshed out at all, and the director doesn’t do a very good job at creating tension or a sense of claustrophobia. In fact, most of the sets look pretty cheap and all the September 11th footage is shown by zooming in on a television. Still, there are a few emotional moments, just given the nature of the material. Yet 9/11 is uninspired and has no passion.

I got more questions than criticism.

Why is the cast filled with comedic actors?

Why dose Whoopi Goldberg look like shes gonna burst into laughter in every scene?

Who says "They said... it's not the fall that kills you", when the elevator is gonna jump?

Charlie Sheen had HIV?

Martin Guigui last name should have been called bush, just so I can say "Bush did 9/11".

Stage play adaptation does not translate well to film - partly because of some very dodgy acting - but it still gets by because of the overall power of the 9/11 tragedy.

It was so cheaply made that it could be easily done during the lockdown with an iPhone and inside the house. They didn't even went to NY, all the outside scenes where either from footage or green screen when they are walking. Really nothing to watch, i will quote another review here which nails it : "but it still gets by because of the overall power of the 9/11 tragedy."
