CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

bonheura I tried. I'd never heard of this movie before it aired on my local TV and my first thoughts were: -Oh, another 9/11 movie (not that there has been that many so far) -Starring Charlie Sheen? Ok why not, he used to be known for being a fine actor after all -Starring Whoopie Goldberg, mmhh ok -Starring Gina Gershon? Now that's interesting -Oh and there's this actor you see everywhere since always! Luis Guzman! -Wait, what? People trapped in an elevator after the attack? That rings a bell but you say this is a fiction? WTH? So I thought, ok, maybe a straight to video movie, let's give it a try anyway. Well, I tried to watch it without any prejudice, I didn't go to Rottentomatoes (I never do), I didn't watch the users' reviews. And the result is so poor IMHO that I can't believe they even bothered to release it on big screens. The clichés are so expectable you can only laugh. The couple soon to be divorced making up in the end? Check. The crying mom saying I love you to her son? Check. The hero trapped at the last minutes just when you think that everybody will escape? Check. Etc. This is badly written, badly directed, and worse of all, badly acted, and it makes me cringe to write this about all these people involved. No chemistry, anywhere. It just didn't work. It should have, it could have, it didn't.

JDreviews101 Since the opening scene you get a taste of the absolute mediocrity that follows for the rest of the film. There's so much wrong with it that I really don't even know where to start, but the first apparent serious problem seems to be the casting choice, and that's what probably made this movie fail in such disastrous proportions. This film needs to be shown in acting school as an example for how NOT to act, and I'm honestly very surprised that Whoopi Goldberg got herself involved in such an amateurish project, as there's a big difference between supporting a cause and agreeing to be part of a mediocre production. All the performances were terrible, but Sheen's acting in particular is so laughably bad that by the end of the movie I felt truly embarrassed for him. The script is extremely weak and lame - the dialogue between some of the characters is stupid and totally unnecessary in moments of tension that are supposed to be serious. The so called "comic relief" fails miserably and it clearly makes the scenes cringy and awkward for the actors themselves. The characters are so unlikable and annoying that at some point you actually stop caring about them, and when you have such a limited acting cast and this situation occurs you know the movie is in serious trouble. Generic camerawork and choppy editing makes the technical aspect of the production seem boring and unattractive. The overall tone of the movie is very confusing, as sometimes it feels like a low-budget horror film and other times it has the comedic vibe of a parody. All in all this has to be one of the absolute worst films of 2017.

lavatch In the closing screen credits, the filmmakers of "9/11" implore the audience to "never forget" the tragic events of September 11, 2001. Unfortunately, this film treatment is all-too-forgettable.The film was adapted from a work of theater by Patrick James Carson, and, predictably, the characters are wooden and the dialogue is stage-bound. It is fairly difficult to "open up" the environment of a trapped-in-an-elevator story into a work of cinema. As the five passengers stuck between the 37th and 38th floors of the North Tower realize, they must pass the time through a deep, profound confessional about their lives. But the confessionals were neither deep nor profound.There was an effort to bring star power to the film in the casting of Charlie Sheen as Jeffrey Cage, the former "king of Wall Street," who visited the World Trade Center on 9/11 in order to finalize his divorce with his wife Eve (Gina Gershon). Luis Guzmán plays the dedicated "custodial engineer" Eddie. Olga Fonda is the gorgeous woman (Eddie is chided for calling her a mija who merits the score of "10") who has come to the tower to break off a relationship with an older man. And Wood Harris plays Eddie, the messenger, who reluctantly went to work that day instead of spending it with his daughter on her birthday. Whoppi Goldberg's character is fumbling around in the control room, helpless in her efforts to assist the apparently doomed souls trapped in the elevator.It is important to remember the victims and heroic first responders of 9/11. But this film played out more like a maudlin made-for-television movie than a feature film that sought to memorialize one of the most awful days in our history.

Michael Ayre If you are expecting a film depicting the events of 9/11 then you will be very disappointed.This film should be called 'Stuck in a Lift', because other than the fact it is set on 9/11 and the building subsequently collapses, it could be any high rise any city any time.The characters are typical American stereotypes, so obviously chosen to try and make a film with about the dozen people in it interesting. A millionaire, a spoilt selfish brat of a wife, a very attractive feminist woman who just happens to be having an affair with an older man, a delivery guy and a maintenance man. hmm....As for the plot. So ridiculous it's funny. The lift stops. Fair enough. But still has power and all the communications work? Then the cables snap and it falls I think 37 floors. But it stops at lobby level. Then more cables snap and it drops further. A door held closed by a solenoid, and a bolt closed escape hatch. Insulting the intelligence!The acting is wooden and the script about as boring as it can get.The title is nothing more than an insensitive link to tragic events to try and make a boring TV film plot appear more interesting, using the events of 9/11 to add some excitement.It's all so so wrong...........
