Excellent, a Must See
Mabel Munoz
Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?
Blake Rivera
If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Why don't these mainstream 9/11 things ever put in stuff about William Rodriguez, the life saving janitor on 9/11 who felt explosions in the sub-basement BEFORE the plane hit. look him up and watch his testimony. How come they never involve inaccuracies in the media. BBC reported WTC7 collapse 20 MINUTES before it happened! This is just another version of 9/11 that makes Americans feel sorry for the government and hate so called "terrorists." The war on terror is unreal. "When the people are afraid of the government there is tyranny, when the government is afraid of the people there is liberty" - Thomas Jefferson Please watch a real 9/11 video made with victims family members and first responders. Watch it FOR FREE on google video. "9/11 Press for Truth" search it. watch it.

ABC TV was paid to air this right wing propaganda from the deep pockets of radical Christian Fundamentalists. It tortures the truth in an attempt to lay all blame for the WTC attack upon previous (Democratic) administrations. It ignores the incessant and urgent warnings from the outgoing administration, which had successfully tracked down and arrested the perpetrators of the first WTC attack, that Al Queda should receive first priority. In spite of this, the first authority on Al Queda, Richard Clark was demoted and excluded from meetings to plan the grab for the oil riches of Iraq. This is the truth of 9/11 the right and the media prostitutes at ABC don't want you to know. And that they were paid a significant sum to air this screed without having to find sponsors is in itself a significant factor.

Excellent docudrama. I suggest everyone see it when they have a chance and ponder the history of the 90's. That it bothers the left so much tells a lot about what they didn't do. They make excuses and this show while somewhat fictionalized in its actions shows that fact of history is true. We had opportunities to have bin Laden handed to us. The people who understood the threat were marginalized and ignored. We had a president who shamelessly led us into a two year forest of persona scandal when he could have been doing his job. His job was protecting the United States not hanging out with 21 year old interns. Instead of having stopped Bin Laden we are faced with if onlys and a former president who bullies news reporters when they ask him the questions he can barely ask himself. A must see for every American who wants to know why and wants the honest truth.

ABC is a floundering network and people see this as an attempt to garner attention back to it. While those people may have a point, it is a mute one. "The truth has a certain ring to it." The movie didn't have to convince me that something was amiss in our government that led to 9/11, we kinda gather that assumption as individuals on our own... it happened. While there is nothing we can do to undo what happened, we should look back on how we came to "allow" one of the worst terrorist attacks in America's history to happen and to see what we should do so it never happens again. This movie allows the historical timeline of events to guide us towards how we arrived to a day so horrific. While critics and politicians are complaining that the film is not 100% "verbatim" on what the 9/11 Commission has published, it volunteers information from other sources that combine altogether making a hard film to dispute. I am extraordinarily grateful that this is not another crying fest about "that day"; out of the five hours, this two part film shows only a concrete 25 minutes of the madness occurring on 9/11. No one will ever think the same way after watching this film, regardless of it's 'accuracy'. They say the proof is in the pudding, and in this case the pudding isn't in the film at all; It's in the way the Democrats and Republicans complain about this film... they complain with such detail about particular instances! That through my mind, in the afterward, makes this one of ABC's finest contributions to television in a long time. The greatest perspective of this instantaneous classic is that this is a very human film in that humans make poor judgment... and sometimes they make poor judgments too many times in succession. Execution of this movie is flawless. Casting for this film was top-notch; led by strong willed Harvey Keitel is an ensemble of overwhelming supporting performances next to impossible to single out. The film's Editing, Cinematography, Timing, Set Design, Haunting Score, and pitch perfect directing make this film one of the two best I've seen so far this year (the other being "When the Levees Broke") This is one you can't ignore and shouldn't miss seeing. At most, this is only a comment based on one man's opinion. I implore you to watch, and see if you can honestly have a different opinion.
