Okay, let’s break this down.
We make a 9/11 movie.
Alright. Been done before.
Charlie Sheen stars in it.
Charlie Sheen? The guy who thought it was an inside job? Okay…
And we treat the attacks on the World Trade Center as a time bomb sort of thing because he’s stuck in an elevator. Kind of like the opening to Speed.
Like Speed?
Yeah, but instead of the elevator falling at the beginning being the threat, it’s the building coming down.
Pause! Stop right there!
Who could have ever thought this was a good idea? Who even considered this as an idea in itself? This film is so disrespectful that it almost feels like a mockery of what actually happened that day to innocent people. A case could be made that a film about the events from a civilian in the building could be interesting, but this just looks like a shitty action thriller that needed an awful gimmick to get eyes on it. The end of the film asks us to “never forget,” but I would like to (and probably will) forget this film; it’s nothing more than another contender for the longest 90 minutes I’ve ever felt. Shame on all involved.
