Too dull for me.

I wasn't sure what to expect with this movie, but I thought I was either going to love it or hate it. I can't honestly say I "hated it" but I was bored by it. I also couldn't help but think that if this movie wasn't about a real event that affected so many people around me that I would have probably turned it off.
The way Oliver Stone went about introducing the characters and their lives was ordinary and didn't every build anything up. They went into the building, they got trapped, they stayed their a while and they were rescued. The whole time I was hoping someone would rescue me from the movie.
If there was a silver lining with this movie, it was the emotional and heart-felt moments. I thought most of these were performed excellently by Maggie Gyllenhaal. Her performance was great.
I can’t see myself ever watching this movie again.

Yeah I wanted to see it - I am expecting a lot from stone, though it appears that this movie sucks as bad as Alexander?
