I saw the trailer a week ago. It *is* disturbing. I don't know what to think about it though... I mean, for some, a film can be part of how we, as a nation, process our reactions to 9/11. On the other hand (and this is MY opinion), I think it's too soon, and a movie using these events as its basis is essentially a cheap shot. 90% of the reaction and buzz about the movie will take place because of our feelings about that day, not the film's virtues. In short - a cheap shot.
Of course, if it wasn't this film, it would be another. The entertainment industry can't hold itself back from capitalizing on tragedy, and there are dollars to be made. Look for films about people trapped in mines in about 18 months.
