This is definitely one of the most emotionally powerful films to come out in a very long time. Though I see United 93 as a better movie, this one brings out all the sadness of that fateful day and the story of the two Port Authority members trapped underneath the WTC casts a great ray of hope over that sadness when it finally concludes. Oliver Stone has succeeded in making so many great historical movies, Platoon and JFK come to mind, that it's hard to imagine him ever making a bad one. Alexander was a misfire for Stone, but after all the good movies he's made, and now after World Trade Center, I can certainly forgive him. It is about two Port Authority policemen who enter the concourse between the North and South Tower and, as the South Tower falls, they get trapped underneath the wreckage.



Hope brings the characters through the tragedy, and it's what will bring tears to the eyes of many audience members. It is an uplifting tail that you should certainly see, however if you couldn't handle United 93, than you might want to wait until WTC comes to DVD. Though at times you can tell the script by Andrea Berloff tries to bring a tear to your eye deliberately, it is mostly natural, and it brings a very human approach to the story. There will be more films about 9/11 to be sure, just like there have been with every other tragedy, and I hope that they're all as well done as World Trade Center.
