World Trade Center Review

My wife and I went to see World Trade Center last night. Going in, I had mixed feelings about the movie. On one hand, I thought that it is too soon and inappropriate for a movie about 9/11 too be released just only 5 years after. I also wasn't sure if Stone would attempt to inject politics and his views into the movie or not. On the other hand, the reviews have been good and I read that what was portrayed in the movie was very true to real life events, down to the detail.

I wasn't disappointed. Stone never injected politics into the movie. Bin Laden, al Queda, Muslim extremists were never mentioned. It was more of a documentary with good acting. It was sad and uplifting at the same time. You're happy that Jimeno and McLoughlin survived but sad over the devastation of that day. In the end, I'm glad I saw it.
