I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

A Masterpiece!

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

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

Although not reaching all way through, Oliver Stone and the actors deliver enough tension and drama to make the film worth its 129 minutes.The pros: The acting by Cage, Peña, Bello and Gyllenhaal. The feeling of authenticity in the scenes under the collapsed buildings. The storytelling power and potential of the events. The cons: The fact that despite the power of the story and fine performances, the movie never reaches the heights it could have.

It's a normal New York morning on September 11, 2001. When a plane flies into Tower One, Sgt John McLoughlin (Nicolas Cage) leads a group of Port Authority cops. There are conflicting reports on Tower Two. As they prepare to go up to Tower One, Tower Two collapse around them. Will Jimeno (Michael Peña), Dominick Pezzulo (Jay Hernandez), and McLoughlin manage to escape into the elevator shaft.It's got some compelling iconic 9/11 moments although Oliver Stone doesn't actually show the planes crashing into the buildings. He's staying mainly close to these characters. He does a straight telling. He's not doing anything too risky. It is a bit long and the tension doesn't stay high. Maybe Stone is scared to short-change anybody and that would be understandable. There are small sections of high tension but it doesn't last the whole movie.

As we celebrate today the 14th anniversary of this horrible tragedy, I decided to watch World Trade Center which recall the real stories of John McLaughlin and William Jimeno, two Port Authority police officers caught in the middle of the disaster and survived it after several hours stuck in the rumbles.This movie is really moving and make us proud to be American. Just like this US Marine who decided to fly from Connecticut to help for the search of survivors or this ex paramedic who came to rescue Will and finally save his life.This was an awful day but we saw the best of us coming through getting together as a Nation to rise up from the chaos.Because this is what this movie is about. It's about not giving up, fight for the people we cherish the most despite the horrific situation we have to face. It's simply about life. There are other movies about 9/11 including Flight 93 to make us remember about the awesome bravery of all those people who sacrificed their life to save others. World Trade Center is for all the Heroes from law enforcement and NYFD who went there to rescue people and for some of them lost their life in the process.So to all, thank you for all you did for your sacrifice. This movie is for you. God bless you.

Of course, the topic is difficult, painful and most of viewers remember this or can revive the live events via Youtube or similar channels... But female characters (performed by Maggie Gyllenhaal and Maria Bello) are over-dramatized; families and friends of those who work within rescue, military, and police should be - and usually are - always prepared for the worst as those jobs are dangerous everywhere. And the women having children with them must be strong and realistic, not panicking around and letting off steam on relatives.Nicholas Cage could have obtained more screen time, so the real stars for me are 2 Michaels: Pena and Shannon (though the part of the latter is relatively small).Pre-rescue scenes under ground are too long, dull and hard to watch due to darkness. Tensions are not highly maintained throughout the over 2 hours... As a whole, the movie is too lengthy - not surprisingly, Mr Stone is known for long and epic works - but still I think that World Trade Center is one of the weakest movies Stone has directed.
