Was this actually a good movie?

I have no idea as I really have no desire to see it. Being a resident of NYC, I experienced this firsthand. I saw the smoke and the gap in the skyline. I watched the second tower collapse from my porch. I had relatives working in the area that were out of contact for hours. I had a family friend that worked in one of the towers who just missed being inside because she was late for work and showed up just as people were running out and the first tower started to collapse. She later showed up at my house hours laters, after walking all the way from Manhattan to Queens, covered in soot. I don't need to see a hollywood movie about it.

Thank you.

I wasn't in NYC, but I feel the same way: I don't need to watch some Hollywood get up to remind me about that day or help me "appreciate it more."

I have had no desire to see any of these 9-11 films and I doubt I ever will.

We're on the same page, but with that said I hold no grudge against anyone that does wish to see any of these films. Everyone deals with everything in their own way and there's nothing wrong with that, IMO.

On a slightly different topic, does anyone know how this film actually did at the box office?

Sure! More power to 'em!

I think it tanked. I feel like it was in and out of the theaters very quickly as well.

It wasn't a bad movie. It's not an action movie either - even though there are a few money shots that was very impressive.

It's about two men and their families in the first 24 hours coping with what lay in front of them. There really is so much you can do with trapped firemen just waiting to be rescued.

Since I had a parent on the 82nd floor of tower one on 9/11 I don't need any money shots to help me remember the day. I don't think hollywood will ever recapture the surrealness of that day. At least not yet.
