Review – World Trade Center

Throughout much of this production I kept waiting for Oliver Stone to drop the other shoe. I mean, this guy spent decades writing and directing movies that – if not exactly counter-culture – at least questioned the prevailing beliefs upon which American society constructs itself. I wasn’t exactly looking for a JFK-style conspiracy rant. But I also wasn’t expecting this sort of a straightforward “OK USA” production either. The tale of two Port Authority cops rescued from the rubble is a compelling story in an overblown After-School Special sort of way. I’m just surprised Stone turned out to be the storyteller. Mildly amusing
