BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

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.

Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

rodrig58 Five very good actors immobilized in a lift give all the best of them in this static drama, one more natural than another. Personally, I really appreciate Charlie Sheen, but the other four, Gina Gershon, Luis Guzmán, Wood Harris, Olga Fonda, are as credible as possible. I never liked Whoopi Goldberg and in this film she doesn't convince me that she is the great actress that everyone thinks. Jacqueline Bisset has a small and insignificant role to make a comment. The film is neither good nor bad. I do not know what budget they had but I would have liked to see more action happening outside the elevator, in the building, around the building.

beards_d-305-972057 No idea why many reviews are so poor. I loved it. Suspenseful, believable interactions between the actors under extreme duress, and acting was well done. Not a fan of Charlie sheen myself but I have to give credit where it's due - he was excellent here.

majictiger3-1 I guess maybe because I lost a family member on 9/11 this film really hit home for me. The acting was much better than what previous reviews have stated. Much of the story dealt with the real life emotions that m"Elany of the people trapped in the towers must have been going through. The ending was not your typical disaster movie ending as well. The writing of this film is based on the play "Elevator" and it is obvious that much thought and research went into the writing of it. "9/11" is a terrific film based on one of the darkest days our nation has ever seen and this film presented the story with much acuracy and compassion .

Prismark10 9/11 is based on Patrick James Carson's play Elevator. It is a low budget film about five people trapped in an elevator in the north tower of the World Trade Center on 11 September 2001.I still remember a work colleague in Britain telling me what happened during that day. The way he described it I was not sure whether he was joking or not or whether the whole thing was just incredulous. I tried to go on the BBC news website and it took ages for it to download the headline page because of the volume of the net traffic.Charlie Sheen and Gina Gershon are a couple on the verge of divorce. He is a billionaire, the lift they use suddenly stops. Luis Guzman plays a worker in the lift who contacts Whoopie Goldberg who works in the maintenance room.The five people in the elevator are initially unaware as to what has happened but slowly they become aware especially via Goldberg what is happening all around them and they need to get out of the elevator quickly.The film does look a bit cheap and quickly shot but the actors give passionate and earnest performances, especially as it dawns on them as to the peril they are in and something very serious has taken place.Even the audience would fear the worse for these five people and that they make not make it out alive.The film does draw you in and rather captivates you as it goes along even though at times you also feel the film is manipulative. I can understand why the movie was accused of bad taste because of its release date near the date of the disaster.
