Just perfect...

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

The acting in this movie is really good.

In a nutshell, this is the story of how falling asleep at the wheel during the 1990's gave Islamic extremists the opportunity to pull off the attacks of 9/11.It's interesting how quickly we forget about the blunders which were made during the Clinton administration (Somalia, Kosovo, UN Scams, etc) But as long as your stocks were high, and you were gainfully employed...what did you care...right? You can bash President Bush all you want. But what you can't deny is that he was handed the worst situation/event in American history, mostly due to 8 prior years of policy which enabled our enemies pull off an event that most of us could never imagine.I'm sure all the Michael Moore types will post further venom of hate in regards to this post. But in reality...they are as blind as the administration which allowed terrorism to flourish!!

What it includes: A scene that never happened, of Clinton administration officials calling off a raid that would have netted bin Laden - fictional, according to the 9/11 Commission Report (issued by a Republican-dominated Congressional committee -- you know, the one before which Bush and Cheney testified together, both declining to swear an oath to tell the truth.) What it omits: A very telling scene that did happen - the famous anecdote from Ron Susskind's The One Percent Doctrine, in which a CIA handler who flew to Crawford to make sure sure Bush read the August 6, 2001 memo ("Bin Laden Determined to Attack Inside U.S.") reported Bush's hostile response: "All right, you've covered your ass now." These two facts sum up all anyone needs to know about the integrity and agenda of these filmmakers.

The film makers use of the 9/11 commission report to compile a movie that is so entertaining and educational is simply magnificent. The fact that this film is based on such a boring and hard to read report is a tribute to the makers abilities. To the liberal conspiracy theorist, that thinks President Bush was somehow involved in the tragic events of 9/11, this is truly a bust. The liberal mind set is to ignore facts when they are presented to refute their ideas, no-matter how crazy they might be. As an American that lets the facts do the talking, this film exposes the ineptitude of the U.S. Government to successfully combat terrorism during the Clinton years. I can't wait for this to come out on DVD!!!

The acting, directing, camera work, and tension are incredible. I checked the vote breakdown as to why the overall rating could not be at least an 8.5 or 9. I have since found that the ultra partisan lefties en masse gave the show a 1. Check for yourself. This film was as good as it gets. The voters who cast a 1, are, of course, very liberal political types who wish to completely absolve the Clintonistas for any possible inaction regarding Al Queda/Bin Ladin during the first and second Clinton terms. You don't have to be a republican to admire this remarkably balanced presentation. The hero, in fact, is Richard Clarke, who has been no friend of the Bushies.
