If you are an arrogant American "we are the best" head-in-the-sand redneck who can not accept that the American government has been involved in funding and training terrorists for decades and is, at least, partly responsible for what has happened, you are going to love this film.
For the rest of us we just have to stand back in awe at the stupidity of the people who believe this to be true and unbiased.
9-11 has produced a raft of films and documentaries..
The John Pilger documentaries http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0683400/ are really hard hitting asking challenging questions about the whole middle east issue.
The documentary by Micheal Ruppert is equally outlandish in it's claims around 9-11 as this film (only in the other direction) and just about as true.
Probably the most verifiyable information comes from Noam Chomsky http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0159008/ Distorted Morality http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0361959/combined provides a deluge of facts to support clear arguments around the issues. However facts are pretty boring, the film is footage of university lectures, shot with one camera from one place and it is really hard work to watch, but probably the one film that is most reliable in terms of facts. The Power and the Terror http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0338357/combined is more palatable if you can't face the heavy style of Distorted Morality
Moore produced a film that got attention, I don't think it has the best facts, the best arguments but it was well made and well promoted.
Balance is a key to understanding, all these films need to be questioned and it is good and healthy that we question them. But you need to have seen a variety from across the board to really get a feel for what the truth might be.

Was it supposed to be a comedy? The melodrama is reminiscent of the original Star Trek series, but not as believable. This pathetic work of fiction is an attempt to manipulate the uneducated and unmotivated American.
I love my country, but American politics is a filthy game. I tried to watch the whole movie, but my the time I got halfway through it, I really couldn't put up with the continued assault on my intelligence. I must force myself to sit through the last half, though I'm sure it is no more factual than the first half.
Farenheit 9/11, by Michael Moore is biased, but verifiable. DC 9/11: Time of Crisis, is a fallacious farce. Some of us are ready for the truth. Is it out there?

IMDB viewer votes statistics are sometimes as fascinating as the information about the films or the user comments. In this case, roughly 25% of the viewers rated this film at 10, while almost 50% gave it a 1. This tells that we - IMDB viewers - are judging this film according to our political beliefs and not as cinema. Maybe it is too early to make films about 9/11, the emotions are still here, the pain is still intense, the same US president is in office, and we all live daily the fall-outs of 9/11. If we avoid the political judgment, what can we say about the film? Not too much I am afraid. It is not too good as political drama, it does not say too much about the real people behind their masks, well known from the TV screens. Too much film propaganda, too many lines from political speeches and too little human emotion. The film gets a 6 out of 10 on my personal scale.
An attempt at a fairly accurate portrayal of the President and his stadd in the days following the 9-11 attack.
I was impressed with the characterisations, and found some sections to be quite moving.
This is a much more accurate portrayal than Farenheit 9-11, which I'm told, contains many factual errors and more artistic license ( its crap in other words)
It's easy to see why certain people are blasting this film , but those people with so much unreasonable dislike for Bush will never be convinced , i prefer to be more objective and cannot see anything i really dislike about him
My condolences to all those who lost their lives that terrible day

I have, finally, finished watching this film. I will never torture myself with it again.
