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.

Diagonaldi Very well executed

Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

haduke-20340 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?

TheLittleSongbird 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

simondimsdale Despite what the other commentors have said, I felt that this was a very well done independent film. It was also quite informative and found a dramatic way to capture the ultimately dull and boring 9/11 Commission Report. I wasn't bothered by the camera work at all, and thought it was an interesting choice to be a "fly on the wall" rather than use more subjective framing and lighting. I also had no problems with the audio in my 5.1 surround system, although I did notice a couple of places where things seemed a tad out of sync. The acting in this film was exceptional, especially the character of "Mike" played by Rhett Giles. It was a very magnetic and moving performance. I also liked the actors in the Minnesota sequences, as they all felt very real and natural in their dialogue. Perhaps some viewers are bothered by what is clearly a more neutral or almost conservative viewpoint on world events. I found it to be a breath of fresh air, as everything coming out of Hollywood, studio or independent, seems to be obsessed with liberalism and liberal ideology.As a side note, I watched another film by the same company with a lot of the same actors. It was really strange to see actors in such a serious work, then in a complete piece of fluff!

Terminal Madness I tried. Lord help me, how I tried. But there are just some people almost incapable of creating quality. Brett Ratner, Uwe Boll, Britney Spears, and Asylum. To their credit "The 9/11 Commission Report" seems like an honest attempt by the company to advance into a more sophisticated state of storytelling and movie making. But for all intents and purposes, it comes off as another truly film in their gallery. At the opening, the disclaimer notifies audiences that all the names have been changed, but the names of the terrorists remain relatively the same. A man named Mussaui attempts to learn how to fly a plane. With a stone cold grimace that would instantly make anyone uneasy, this "undercover" agent is able to learn how to fly on a small computer. And you have to wonder, not how he was able to get into this program so easily, but on how these people didn't even ask questions; because this scene is so far-fetched in its presentation, and the actor playing this man is extremely over the top. And you can see that director Scott attempts to mimic Paul Greengrass with a bright grainy photography that's followed by an awfully dizzying and irritating hand-held direction that, throughout the entire film, attempts to take off from Greengrass's gung-ho guerrilla film-making techniques. You can sense Scott emulating Greengrass's technique for realism, but it becomes rather lame-brained halfway in. Meanwhile the film comes off less a "Traffic" take off, and more a take off on "Law & Order" in which we'll have the disclaimer notifying us the names have been changed, the logo almost reminiscent of the "Law & Order" logo, and then ninety minutes of the actors pumping their chests and discussing politics.Neither of which are ever as compelling as it tries to be. And then when the film seems as if its attempting to be an adult drama, Scott relies on his old failsafe, the sex scene. Scott's new film looks like it really wants to be thought of as a low budget "Munich" but it's not, and it manages to be underwhelming on every such occasion possible. "The 9/11 Commission Report" falls flat, and that's because its limited in its attempts to imitate other films.While I appreciate the ambition inherent behind the camera, this new perspective of the events leading up to 9/11 is flat, and dull. Hard as it may try to be a low-budget "Munich" it's only really as entertaining as a normal Dolph Lundgren film you'd find on Cinemax.
