Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
haduke-20340 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?
TheLittleSongbird I believe in giving any film a chance, regardless of whether it is old or new, considered good or bad or whatever it comes from. Yes even if it is part of a resume as notorious as The Asylum. The good news is The 9/11 Commission Report is not their worst, or one of them. The bad news is it is still an irredeemable piece of rubbish. Technically the film is appalling, the special effects have been worse but they are still third rate at best, the sound is muddied and drowns out the dialogue far too much and the scenery is dully lit. But it was the camera work that was the worst part, the hand-held shaky style is annoyingly over-used and headache-inducing. The music is very generic, and the acting lacks any personality or purpose, Rhett Giles is bland and Jeff Denton who saved The Hitchhiker can't do anything with his role. The way The 9/11 Commission Report is written gives no better news. The characters are underdeveloped and have no likability whatsoever, while the story is dully paced, has no life and is often incomprehensible. To make it even worse the dialogue is muffled too much, is corny and has nothing to make it engaging or informative. All in all, one of those films where you are struggling to think of anything that redeems it. 1/10 Bethany Cox
Terminal Madness I tried. Lord help me, how I tried. But there are just some people almost incapable of creating quality. Brett Ratner, Uwe Boll, Britney Spears, and Asylum. To their credit "The 9/11 Commission Report" seems like an honest attempt by the company to advance into a more sophisticated state of storytelling and movie making. But for all intents and purposes, it comes off as another truly film in their gallery. At the opening, the disclaimer notifies audiences that all the names have been changed, but the names of the terrorists remain relatively the same. A man named Mussaui attempts to learn how to fly a plane. With a stone cold grimace that would instantly make anyone uneasy, this "undercover" agent is able to learn how to fly on a small computer. And you have to wonder, not how he was able to get into this program so easily, but on how these people didn't even ask questions; because this scene is so far-fetched in its presentation, and the actor playing this man is extremely over the top. And you can see that director Scott attempts to mimic Paul Greengrass with a bright grainy photography that's followed by an awfully dizzying and irritating hand-held direction that, throughout the entire film, attempts to take off from Greengrass's gung-ho guerrilla film-making techniques. You can sense Scott emulating Greengrass's technique for realism, but it becomes rather lame-brained halfway in. Meanwhile the film comes off less a "Traffic" take off, and more a take off on "Law & Order" in which we'll have the disclaimer notifying us the names have been changed, the logo almost reminiscent of the "Law & Order" logo, and then ninety minutes of the actors pumping their chests and discussing politics.Neither of which are ever as compelling as it tries to be. And then when the film seems as if its attempting to be an adult drama, Scott relies on his old failsafe, the sex scene. Scott's new film looks like it really wants to be thought of as a low budget "Munich" but it's not, and it manages to be underwhelming on every such occasion possible. "The 9/11 Commission Report" falls flat, and that's because its limited in its attempts to imitate other films.While I appreciate the ambition inherent behind the camera, this new perspective of the events leading up to 9/11 is flat, and dull. Hard as it may try to be a low-budget "Munich" it's only really as entertaining as a normal Dolph Lundgren film you'd find on Cinemax.
spydercanopus When you see the cover of this DVD it would appear to be a big time picture, but looks can be deceiving. Here are some gripes I had about this film:1) The video quality appears to be something from an entry level consumer video camera. 2) Shots taken on the streets have massive camera bobbing and make you feel sick and unable to focus. 3)The audio almost never syncs with the video. In fact sometimes it's a full second off. 4) The volume must often be turned way up to hear certain scenes. 5) The actors dialog always seems muffled. 6) There are no subtitles to understand extremely muffled scenes which makes it hard to follow the plot. 7) Even shots taken from a stationary point have an unsteady camera view. They never bothered buying a tripod I suppose.As for the quality of the story... I really can't give that an honest opinion because I simply couldn't catch it all due to the above technical flaws. I really wish it had subtitles it would be possible to follow.All-in-all: Rent something else. This is too difficult to watch. The parts you can actually hear seem interesting, but you just can't follow most of it without subtitles --which aren't present.
