A well-intentioned misfire that doesn't work in the way it intended.
July 4, 2003 | Rating: 2/5 -
Weaver, LaPaglia and director Simpson have little problem keeping us involved as they grapple with conflicting feelings in the ways nearly all Americans did.

A noble attempt, but not much more.
July 4, 2003 | Rating: C+ -
One of those rare and exemplary motion pictures that is likely to make audiences of strangers want to hold hands.

If anyone needs reminding of those profound post-9/11 feelings, now or later, The Guys will be there to do it.

The sobriety of the play has been preserved at the expense of the movie.

Dec 22, 2009a chief firefighter, needs to write eulogies for his 8 dead men, after september 11th 2001, so enlists a journalist to help him tackle subject, emotions come out in this well thought drama, possibly the first to tackle 911, a year after attacks, just a simple drama, paying respect to those who deserve it, both actors are well cast here playing off one anotherscott g Super Reviewer

Sep 16, 2009This is a tough movie to comment on, because i want to like it as i love Anthony Lapaglia and Sigourney weaver is amazing in this but it is a slow movie, really emotional and depressing and just not very much going on, i think they could of added a bit moreto this movie but it was nice to see a different view from what happened on 9/11! This movie reminds me of Flight 93 also known as United 93 although not very much going on a bit slow and you could say boring but its harsh to say this when its based on real events and is truly sad. Like Flight 93 at the end it made me blubber it dedicated the movie to the fallen firefighters and listed every single one of there names and it got really emotional and sad! Anthony Lapaglia plays a chief fireman who is ment to write something for memorials of his fallen men but cant think of anything to write so he asks for a journalist played by sigourney weaver for her help and between them they write speeches! This movie is majority set in weavers house with just te two of them talking! If you want excitement then this isnt the movie for you! Really this film isnt predictable becuase its hard to see where this movie is going because you sort expect more from this movie but it just doesnt cut it! i guess its worth a watch because it is a short movie and does get emotional!Film C Super Reviewer

Jan 21, 2008There are no active firefighting scenes in this movie but it is about NYFD captain who loses eight men in the WTC collapse. He is dumbfounded at the prospect of writing so many eulogies in one weeks and must enlist the help of a writer for help. I found this movie to be especially poignant because my husband was in the Baltimore City Fire Department for 32 years and know how many close calls he has had.Ida K Super Reviewer
