Now comes a new movie that uses the tragedy as heartracing backdrop, but has absolutely nothing to say about it, wielding the horrors of that day with all the subtlety and grace of a promoted brand tweet.

Even if the film relies too much on the real-life horror of the actual event to loan it some gravitas, the performances touch the emotions honestly and deservedly.

9/11 trades on the emotional weight of its namesake day, manipulating audiences into feelings that have nothing to do with the mess that is actually on screen.

The misnamed film does little to honor the victims of that tragic day.

Not the out-and-out disaster it looked to be, this well-meaning 9/11 drama is instead overwrought and acerbic and doesn't really make the connection between its fictional situation and the real one.

Fantastic film not solely based on the entirety of 9/11 like most films/documentaries. Gives an insight to what it was like inside the building as you can’t see much of that from footage of the actual event. The acting was brilliant and intense. Very emotional and gave me chills at the end.

This movie is based off of 9/11, but all the characters are not based on real people. The whole movie is almost entirely in an elevator of the twin towers, where a group of people are stuck inside. Together, they need to work together to try to get out, before it's too late. Possibly the biggest problem with this movie is that it feels like you’re watching a play. Even if it’s set up in just one spot (the elevator) , there could’ve been many other creative angles and shots that could’ve been done. The acting isn’t that great, with Whoopie Goldberg as a voice of encouragement, but is really not helping things. The discussions in the elevator gets a little repetitive and there seems to be nothing really going on. For such a horrific and tragic event, I expected much more from this movie. In all, this is a very messy and uncreative movie that doesn’t hit any nails on the head.

The acknowledgement of the horrific event that took place instantly envelopes the setting with dreadful tension, which boosts intrigue as a reactive aspect, regardless of the embodiments involved because that’s the challenge the film moderately failed on. The characterized focus seems to have depend on the casting with unbalanced deliverance and dissuaded resonance vice versa amongst them due to separately clunky dialogues (eventually further refuted elsewhere), albeit affective, sorrowful grips as continuous dedications. (B-)
