Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

nortagem Honestly...if you remove all the political banter that surrounded this production & actually viewed the broadcast for what it was, which was a 'dramatization' of events that led up to the 9/11 attacks, then anyone could see that this wasn't a 'bad', 'evil' or 'smear' movie. On the contrary, it provides a very intriguing commentary on how the terrorists pulled this off, how we tie our own hands through bureaucratic inaction & red tape, and can be distracted, while bickering along party lines (which continues to this day). What's dishonest is to deny that the 'path' to these events occurred during both the Clinton and Bush administrations (from 1993 - 2001, which is the time frame for this documentary). Things were overlooked & mistakes were made by all parties...the signs were there, but we dropped our guard. And what is unfounded is why we're still not allowed to further scrutinize this production through a DVD release? Step up Disney/ABC...be bold & brave...this is not the era of informative oppression...this is an important piece of work that we should be allowed free & open opportunity to see/buy/discuss, IMHO.

arion1 The Path to 9/11 is an awful example of what can happen to the truth in the hands of those who make it up as they go along.Unbeknownst to most people, this program was part of a deliberate disinformation campaign designed to blame the Clinton administration for allowing the 9/11 attacks to occur.According to The Nation, the director, David Cunningham, is a Christian deconstructionist who is dedicated to using stealth political methods to replace the U.S. Constitution with Biblical law. The movie was written by Cyrus Nowrasteh, a right-wing activist connected to far-right activist David Horowitz's Center for the Study of Popular Culture, which also sells right-wing books and heavily promotes David Horowitz's own books. Horowitz titles include: Hating Whitey and Other Progressive Causes, The Hate America Left and The Politics of Bad Faith: The Radical Assault on America's Future.Following the broadcast of The Path to 9/11, ABC's co-parent, the Walt Disney Company, reportedly ordered an internal corporate investigation into the movie and its intent. One wonders what they found?

adamic Many have said this is propaganda. It is not. Shall I give the page of the 911 report written by a non partisan group. Page 140 is what this documentary is based on. Just goto http://www.9-11commission.gov/report/911Report.pdf PAGE 140. This is why Sandy Burgler stole documents from the national archive. He stole originals and the first and second backup copies but was caught with the second documents. In a plead not to goto jail Burgler has to take a lie detector test, which he has yet to do. The truth is there for all to see. You can read the entire report as I have or you can watch this movie and see that we the people are not fighting the war on terror seriously. With all I know now we are going to wish we bombed Iran while we could. The president has no power now just as Clinton had no power to get Bin Laden. Our press led by ABC has torn Clinton down and now Bush. I would highly advise watching this. I think ABC aired it to try to save face.

Caliwings ABC is a floundering network and people see this as an attempt to garner attention back to it. While those people may have a point, it is a mute one. "The truth has a certain ring to it." The movie didn't have to convince me that something was amiss in our government that led to 9/11, we kinda gather that assumption as individuals on our own... it happened. While there is nothing we can do to undo what happened, we should look back on how we came to "allow" one of the worst terrorist attacks in America's history to happen and to see what we should do so it never happens again. This movie allows the historical timeline of events to guide us towards how we arrived to a day so horrific. While critics and politicians are complaining that the film is not 100% "verbatim" on what the 9/11 Commission has published, it volunteers information from other sources that combine altogether making a hard film to dispute. I am extraordinarily grateful that this is not another crying fest about "that day"; out of the five hours, this two part film shows only a concrete 25 minutes of the madness occurring on 9/11. No one will ever think the same way after watching this film, regardless of it's 'accuracy'. They say the proof is in the pudding, and in this case the pudding isn't in the film at all; It's in the way the Democrats and Republicans complain about this film... they complain with such detail about particular instances! That through my mind, in the afterward, makes this one of ABC's finest contributions to television in a long time. The greatest perspective of this instantaneous classic is that this is a very human film in that humans make poor judgment... and sometimes they make poor judgments too many times in succession. Execution of this movie is flawless. Casting for this film was top-notch; led by strong willed Harvey Keitel is an ensemble of overwhelming supporting performances next to impossible to single out. The film's Editing, Cinematography, Timing, Set Design, Haunting Score, and pitch perfect directing make this film one of the two best I've seen so far this year (the other being "When the Levees Broke") This is one you can't ignore and shouldn't miss seeing. At most, this is only a comment based on one man's opinion. I implore you to watch, and see if you can honestly have a different opinion.
