this is not one of those movies you leave saying you loved it. oliver stone’s portrayal of two new york port authority survivors under the collapsed towers of the world trade center is at once riveting, emotional and respectful. you will be horrifed, and be brought to tears. you will find it uncomfortable to laugh at the few lighthearted moments, and you will want to applaud at the end. you will be shaken by your memories of that horrifying day, and you will want to hold those closest to your heart as tightly as you can.

you will leave this movie exhausted, and reminded that we, as a country, made a vow to never forget. fate kept my family safe that day; that, alone, i can never forget.
