I watched World Trade Center Saturday night and was disappointed. While the story of the two main characters was certainly compelling, I just walked away with an empty feeling from the film. I learned some things about the survivors - namely the hell they experienced while under the rubble. Seeing one of the guys buried with the two survivors commit suicide after more debris fell was awful. I never knew about all of the fire shooting down the rubble at different intervals after these two men were trapped.

Part of the problem for me was that there were a massive amount of stories to be told on 9/11. To limit the stories to be told in a film was, no doubt, a tough choice. Oliver Stone wisely left his politics out of the film, but it was still a rather vanilla movie IMO.

I'd give it 2 stars out of 5. I'm not a big Nicholas Cage fan to begin with, but he was less annoying in this film than in his others.
