Review: World Trade Center
The topic clear and hence controversial, so Oliver Stone had to endure quite a few accusations of all kinds. But unlike the cold approach of United 93, this is a simple drama based on true facts (though many survivors complained over a few factual inaccuracies). Nothing more, nothing less. Script isn’t overly dramatised to jerk the tearducts (and if it is, it didn’t have too much of an effect). There’s also no trace of alternative (like conspiracy theories) story lines focusing on anything else than the obvious helplessness, hope and heroism. So, all this points a straight line to the most average grade available.7.
