It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

I got about five minutes into it and turned it off and threw the disc in the garbage. I mean seriously; my 8 year old could have done a better job directing this 'movie'. The acting was horrible, the cameras were pathetic and the background music was overbearing and louder than the 'actors' lines. Stay away from this one. You'd be better off watching some lame conspiracy videos on YouTube. Sorry IMDb, but this garbage film isn't worthy of '10 lines of text' so I am going to finish this ten lines of text nonsense by talking about peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. First you take a jar of peanut butter and you spread it on a slice of bread. Then you take some jelly and spread it on another slice of bread. You put the two slices of bread together and enjoy something that is 100 times better than this crap movie. There, how's that for a 'ten lines of text' review?

I rented the DVD in a video store, as an alternative to reading the report. But it's pretty much just more terror-tainment.While the film may present some info from the report in the drama, you're taking the word of the producers - there's no reference to the commission report anywhere in the film. Not one.The acting, all around, is pretty bad - pretty much all of the stereotypes of 'hot shot' bitchy foul mouthed government agents, each thinking they know more than everyone else. There may be some truth to it, but it really has a bad Hollywood stereotype smell to it.IMDb's user community ratings & comments tend to be more right than wrong, and I have started to glance at the ratings before renting whenever I can.I wish I had on this one.

Despite what the other commentors have said, I felt that this was a very well done independent film. It was also quite informative and found a dramatic way to capture the ultimately dull and boring 9/11 Commission Report. I wasn't bothered by the camera work at all, and thought it was an interesting choice to be a "fly on the wall" rather than use more subjective framing and lighting. I also had no problems with the audio in my 5.1 surround system, although I did notice a couple of places where things seemed a tad out of sync. The acting in this film was exceptional, especially the character of "Mike" played by Rhett Giles. It was a very magnetic and moving performance. I also liked the actors in the Minnesota sequences, as they all felt very real and natural in their dialogue. Perhaps some viewers are bothered by what is clearly a more neutral or almost conservative viewpoint on world events. I found it to be a breath of fresh air, as everything coming out of Hollywood, studio or independent, seems to be obsessed with liberalism and liberal ideology.As a side note, I watched another film by the same company with a lot of the same actors. It was really strange to see actors in such a serious work, then in a complete piece of fluff!

This documentary was very amateurish. It could have been made by college students. Assuming that it was, my grading is as follows. Content : C, Sound Quality : F ,Cinematography : F ,Acting : D, Soundtrack : F, Casting : C, Boobshot : A ......Overall Grade :DI found myself getting seasick as we walked down the streets with the characters,bobbing up and down with each move of the cameraman'step.My mother-in-law even changed the batteries in her miracle ear and she could not hear the muffled dialog. Extensive post production editing and CGI would not help this bomb. These students would "barely" pass my course.My advise...don't waste your time or money for the one "A".
