World Trade Center

This is not the 9/11 film we expected from Stone, who tells the fact-based story of two individuals who somehow survived the collapse of the World Trade Center and with a remarkable economy of expressionistic detail and bombast.

Notorious director Neil LaBute's well-intentioned but inadvertently silly film starring Nicolas Cage replaces the vague, sinister paganism of the original with a creepy infusion of earth-mother estrogen gone haywire.
