Absolutely amazing

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

I got about five minutes into it and turned it off and threw the disc in the garbage. I mean seriously; my 8 year old could have done a better job directing this 'movie'. The acting was horrible, the cameras were pathetic and the background music was overbearing and louder than the 'actors' lines. Stay away from this one. You'd be better off watching some lame conspiracy videos on YouTube. Sorry IMDb, but this garbage film isn't worthy of '10 lines of text' so I am going to finish this ten lines of text nonsense by talking about peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. First you take a jar of peanut butter and you spread it on a slice of bread. Then you take some jelly and spread it on another slice of bread. You put the two slices of bread together and enjoy something that is 100 times better than this crap movie. There, how's that for a 'ten lines of text' review?

I believe in giving any film a chance, regardless of whether it is old or new, considered good or bad or whatever it comes from. Yes even if it is part of a resume as notorious as The Asylum. The good news is The 9/11 Commission Report is not their worst, or one of them. The bad news is it is still an irredeemable piece of rubbish. Technically the film is appalling, the special effects have been worse but they are still third rate at best, the sound is muddied and drowns out the dialogue far too much and the scenery is dully lit. But it was the camera work that was the worst part, the hand-held shaky style is annoyingly over-used and headache-inducing. The music is very generic, and the acting lacks any personality or purpose, Rhett Giles is bland and Jeff Denton who saved The Hitchhiker can't do anything with his role. The way The 9/11 Commission Report is written gives no better news. The characters are underdeveloped and have no likability whatsoever, while the story is dully paced, has no life and is often incomprehensible. To make it even worse the dialogue is muffled too much, is corny and has nothing to make it engaging or informative. All in all, one of those films where you are struggling to think of anything that redeems it. 1/10 Bethany Cox

Am I the only one who thought the point of this film was the graphic violence? I knew nothing about Leigh Scott when I rented it, and would not have done so if I had known that most of his previous films were horror films. I am not into that at all, I was just expecting an informative docudrama of the 9/11 report.Instead, I got an almost incomprehensible, violent movie. The only good thing about it for me, was that it made me want to read the report, to figure out what the heck this movie was about.I wrote this because I am shocked that we have become so immune to violence in films and on TV, that it was not even worth commenting on by the bloggers whose reviews that I read.

I rented the DVD in a video store, as an alternative to reading the report. But it's pretty much just more terror-tainment.While the film may present some info from the report in the drama, you're taking the word of the producers - there's no reference to the commission report anywhere in the film. Not one.The acting, all around, is pretty bad - pretty much all of the stereotypes of 'hot shot' bitchy foul mouthed government agents, each thinking they know more than everyone else. There may be some truth to it, but it really has a bad Hollywood stereotype smell to it.IMDb's user community ratings & comments tend to be more right than wrong, and I have started to glance at the ratings before renting whenever I can.I wish I had on this one.
