World Trade Center | Movie

Is it not too late to make this movie, way too late after the actual event. The movie overall is very emotional, and leaves you stressed out at the end, with uncomfortable thoughts about your own life and its losses. And guess what... its rated PG-13 for intense and emotional content, some disturbing images and language!! Forget the images and the language, the emotional content is a bit too much to handle.

The movie is a lot about couple of PAPD (Port Authority Police Department) cops who get stuck under the WTC debris after the towers collapse, and their rescue. Many flashbacks to the happy pasts with their families, the struggles in their own lives. The WTC debris looks too unreal, a lot like a set, the rescuers dirty as if working in a coal mine collapse.

But the movie has some great moments, like one where someone over the radio announces.. "History has been re-written today".

And some funny lines like ..
Emergency response team: Got a name Marine?
Marine Rescuer: Staff Sergeant Karnes
Emergency response team: Got something a little shorter?
Marine Rescuer: Staff Sergeant

Overall a good movie, but definitely not a must-watch. I would rather say, United 93 was a much better movie related 9/11, and is a must-watch.
