Now comes a new movie that uses the tragedy as heartracing backdrop, but has absolutely nothing to say about it, wielding the horrors of that day with all the subtlety and grace of a promoted brand tweet. Sep 15, 2017 | Full Review…

Even if the film relies too much on the real-life horror of the actual event to loan it some gravitas, the performances touch the emotions honestly and deservedly. Sep 8, 2017 | Full Review…

9/11 trades on the emotional weight of its namesake day, manipulating audiences into feelings that have nothing to do with the mess that is actually on screen. Sep 8, 2017 | Full Review…

By invoking September 11th, this movie is announcing that it has something to say... it's the film equivalent of a guy loudly demanding the attention of everyone in a subway car, then refusing to even issue a compellingly strange rant. Sep 8, 2017 | Rating: D | Full Review…

Proves so exploitative that its end credits' dedication to the victims and first responders feels tawdry. Sep 8, 2017 | Full Review…

Not the out-and-out disaster it looked to be, this well-meaning 9/11 drama is instead overwrought and acerbic and doesn't really make the connection between its fictional situation and the real one. Sep 15, 2017 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Spectacularly misconceived, in which the optics of a substandard disaster movie are discomfortingly applied to this unfathomable tragedy. Sep 10, 2017 | Rating: .5/4 | Full Review…

"9/11" just...exists for 90 minutes, offering no insight or emotionality, quickly graduating from curious to forgettable as the inevitable closes in. Sep 8, 2017 | Rating: D+ | Full Review…

A poorly made and rather mundane 9/11 film, 9/11 has no real story to tell or insight into the events of that day. Based on a play, the film follows five people who get trapped in an elevator in the World Trade Center during the September 11th attacks. There's no actual story, the characters just talk a bit about inane things and make a couple attempts at getting out of the elevator. The characters aren't fleshed out at all, and the director doesn't do a very good job at creating tension or a sense of claustrophobia. In fact, most of the sets look pretty cheap and all the September 11th footage is shown in a zoom on a television. Still, there are a few emotional moments, just given the nature of the material. Yet 9/11 is uninspired and has no passion.
