Sorry, this movie sucks

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Humaira Grant
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

This is brilliant, it shows the emotions in NYC at the time, it shows first hand experience(for the most part) and it shows how firefighters worked on the scene. There is no other words to put it as, but outstanding!

The Naudet Brothers Your other reviewers appear to be living on another planet. The Naudet film is one of the most outrageous frauds ever perpetrated in the name of documentary. Check out www.frankresearch.info/Naudet911 if you want to understand what's going on in this film. Do any of you people know anything about politics in the real world, as opposed to this self-indulgent fantasy you seem to be living in ? The Naudet shot of the first plane was a set-up, his TWO escapes from the collapses of the Twin Towers were farcical, the film is littered with insults to the intelligence - and, worst of all, the Naudets are actually complicit inb the crime, which, as anyone with a brain knows, was peropetrated by the Pentagon and CIA.

9/11 is a documentary about the September 11 attacks in New York City, in which two planes crashed into the buildings of the World Trade Center from the point of view of the New York City Fire Department.It is an extraordinary record of that fateful day in New York City.Telecast to coincide with the six-month "anniversary" of the horrific terrorist attack on New York's World Trade Center,it was directed by Jules and Gedeon Naudet, and FDNY firefighter James Hanlon.This one-of-a-kind documentary was originally conceived as a portrait of 21-year-old Tony Benetatos, a firefighter trainee at Manhattan's Duane Street firehouse, located seven blocks from the World Trade Center. By the time filming was finished, brothers Jules and Gedeon Naudet had captured history in the making, including the only image of the first jetliner striking Tower 1, and the only footage from within the tower as it collapsed. This is not, however, a film about the murderous nightmare of terrorism. It's the ultimate rite-of-passage drama, more immediate and meaningful than any fiction film could be with Benetatos and his supportive colleagues emerging as heroes of the first order involved it became an important journalistic work by simply capturing a moment in time.This documentary will endure forever as a tribute to those, living and dead, who witnessed hell on that sunny Tuesday morning on September 11,2001.

I was a freshman in high school when the world changed on September 11. Six months later when I saw this documentary aired on TV, I was still having trouble digesting everything that had happened. It helped to bring a sense of closure to me, and I was able to grow from it.What sets this documentary apart from other documentaries is that it does not focus just on the heroes of that day. It focuses on what brought them to that point, what pushed them to do what the average citizen would not. This was that they ran into the fire, probably knowing that they were going to die, to help people they didn't know. That kind of courage leaves a mark on everyone which is part of the reason why we all remember the events and heroes of that day.
