On the positive side, this is an earnest and sincere production with many excellent performances which also makes an interesting addition to the 9/11 sub-genre. On the downside, the two-hour film feels like a full three-hour-plus Broadway production sans much-needed Intermission. The production feels crammed and hectic and cannot shake the feeling that is another well-meaning community theatre production that "accidentally" got professionally captured on video by someone's parent. Certainly not bad, but only for those who live for local theatre and are able to spurn cinematic production values -- this is not a traditional film, and therefore cannot be evaluated as such, hence the (seemingly) low score.
