Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

MusicChat It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

bones272 This movie was a joke - I laughed out loud during one of the war room scenes where the CIA director stands up and offers some kind of soliloquy (because in real life the dude could only talk to himself in such a manner) about how best to go into Afghanistan. Or the scene towards the beginning where the First Lady laments about how Ted Kennedy knows all about "national tragedy" as looks out the window with a forlorn expression. WTF? I suppose this is to be a dramatization, but instead this ended up cr@pitzation.I have issues with our actions in Iraq, but I feel sorry for Bush if this is the best effort out there to put him in a good light.

scott_urner If you are on the left or the right in America, there is no possible way that you can watch this film and think that this is how things went down. So calm, so rational, Bush as an amazingly calm and intelligent politician and leader, with contrived situations based on selected facts that the writer sought to use - what about Bush's demands to attack Iraq before there was ANY evidence to support it, just days after - numerous government officials have been documented during the 9/11 hearings with the commission... "We start with Bin Laden, that's what the American people expect," Bush says, COUNTERING his cabinet - I think it was the other way around... at the VERY LEAST, this movie is so soft and polite that any rational person can't think that all these government officials were so... rational. Ugh.

kingplanet Bravo to Showtime, actor Timothy Bottoms, director Brian Trenchard-Smith and screenwriter Lionel Chetwynd. They have made a motion picture that showed a nation under attack and a presidency ready to meet the challenge of the war on terror for years to come. This is one of the most intense made for cable films I have ever seen. Bottoms is awesome in his performance as President George W. Bush. I liked the fact that he didn't try to do a fake imitation of the President's voice, he just simply made the role his own and used the President's words and actions speak for themselves. Intercutting with actual footage was a stroke of genius on the film makers part, as it added to the horror and realism. We will no doubt over the years learn much more about the 9/11 attacks on our country and another motion picture will probably be made later on, but this film about the first few days of the attack and the decisive steps taken by this administration will stand firmly on its own. It wasn't that long ago and the film indeed represents very closely what actually happened. There is a lot of debate on the IMDb about this film and everyone should be glad we live in a country where you have the free speech to do that. there are SEVERAL countries where you cannot.

Eric-62-2 Thank God for Lionel Chetwynd, because it means there is at least one filmmaker in Hollywood with enough sanity to deviate from the radical garbage of Michael Moore and his documented lies to just tell the truth about what happened on 9/11, which shows the courageous and effective response of our national leaders to the greatest tragedy in American history.Liberals who want to carp about a film that dares to show a positive depiction of President Bush have been pampered for years with fawning (and often not always accurate) portrayals of Democrat presidents in action (see the well-done "Missiles Of October" and the awful "Thirteen Days" for instance) that it speaks volumes to their general sense of intolerance to throw fits over a film that dares to show a positive depiction of a Republican president in action.But unlike liberal movies with their indulgence for hate-filled conspiracy rhetoric about conservatives and Republicans, there are no cheap shots thrown at Democrat politicians in this film. Sure, we hear talk about "changes in policy" but there are no direct digs at Bill Clinton which Chetwynd easily could have done. The intent, like "The Missiles Of October", is to recreate how our leaders acted in a time of crisis, and in that respect he succeeds brilliantly just like "The Missiles Of October" did for the Cuban Missile Crisis.The performances are outstanding. Timothy Bottoms nails W. down perfectly as do the rest of the cast (although I didn't think Lawrence Pressman quite got Dick Cheney). It's enough to make you at times think you're listening in on the real events as they unfolded.Bravo Lionel Chetwynd for providing people who understand the facts about 9/11 and President Bush for giving us a welcome antidote to the mountains of filth from the likes of Michael Moore and other self-hating Americans.
