I'm only surprised this wasn't made and released earlier.

I confess I do not know much about it, but I did notice that none of the actors are anyone I recognize. I realize movies dramatize real life events all the time so I really have no basis for objecting to this one. Except I do. Maybe it is because I think there is a hell of a lot more to the story than the "official" version and I hate the way Hollywood renders history and instills popular myths. Maybe it is because a friend's brother was on the flight. Maybe it is because not enough time has passed for me personally to accept this.

I don't hope for much from this film. I hope I am proven wrong and it does justice to the situation without romanticizing and glorifying that horrifying event. I'll have to rely on other people's opinions. I can't imagine ever viewing it.

4. I wonder if the film is going to point out that the evidence at the site
doesn't seem to be consistent with the crash of an airliner, as has been indicated in many places.

5. Too bad they won't make a movie about WTC#7.
