I love that movie enough to overlook his really bad attempt at a Brooklyn accent.

I like that movie. The one character he is capable of playing was perfect in that one.

What about "Face-Off?"

OMG Moonstruck is one of my favorite movies ever - perhaps that's why I'm a bit partial to Mr. Cage.

in seeing this film. I think the best 911 related film was "9-1-1", the doctumentary by 2 French brothers who were originally filming a story about a rookie firefighter joining a NY firehouse and all the struggles that come with becoming a firefighter, to only have 911 happen as they were filming (The French brothers are the ones who filmed the first jet impacting the WTC, the only known footage of the first impact-They also were inside the buildings filming as people jumped to their deaths, the sound was sickening).

I would, however, like to see a movie about the conspiracy of the OKC bombing...It's been 11 years and us Oklahomans are still trying to figure exactly what the hell happened that April day & why the govt. keeps BS-ing the truth.

I guess they are trying really hard to get people to buy-into this film being made in the first place?

Oliver Stone is involved? Then have even LESS interest in it now.

That 9/11 doc was numbingly blunt. What a flic.

I really don't see a problem with the film itself. I'm interested in seeing it, just not yet...

personally.

I am SO with you...I just hate Oliver Ston'es movies...and I have seen too many of them to know- Too melodramatic-too long- too many cheesy slow-mo re-enacments (i.e. Born on the 4th of July...Hate it!!)

He really should have stopped at Wallstreet *(I am not even sure if that is the name of it...Michael Douglas is big time finance guy..that movie was great!

As far as just 9/11...I think I would just cry the whole time...( I know it is suppossed to be about survivors, but still, over 3000 didn't. I don't need anymore reality-just read the paper, or turn on the news...
I am looking for entertainment when I hit the movies these days...

Long time lurker here. I'm from the Bronx and one of the men in the film who died, Dominick Puzzullo was from my neighborhood. I knew him from a job I once had, not well, but he was a really nice guy.

Prior to becoming a PA cop, he was the local high school shop teacher for many years. And well loved by his students. (He was also an extraordinarily handsome man, Jay Hernandez has nothing on him.)

All of the reviews of the movie I have read, state that his death is the most touching scene in the movie. He had the opportunity to get out of the rubble after the first tower collapsed but refused to leave his partner, who was trapped. Hours later, after the second tower collaspsed, he was trapped himself and died. Right before he died, he was able to fire a shot from his gun that alerted the rescuers to the area where the men were trapped.

I'll see this movie, just not in a theater.

Welcome to the Ledge...and allow me to give you my sympathy on the death of perhaps not a friend...but someone that touched you-
All of us at the Ledge, and I am pretty sure I speak for one and all...

Honor the dead, and walking wounded, that are still grieving as a result of September 11th

Thank you. My area of the Bronx was greatly affected on 9/11. Many of the residents are NYPD, FDNY, and other New York City employees. I believe over 291 people from my area died that day, many of them FDNY. Considering my neighborhood has only 5000 or so people, that's an insane number. For months it seemed like it was one funeral after another.

To be honest, there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about it. I think many New Yorkers haven't forgotten either.

And a lot of the actual firefighters and such are in the film - and I don't know - I think they're trying to do a good thing -

The profits should be given back to the people victimized IMO.
