We'll probably rent it when it becomes available.

From what I've read, it is passable as a made-for-TV movie, but not much more.

I went to see it yesterday. Not what you would expect. They don't even show one of the planes hitting the WTC.
You gotta love the ex-Marine in the movie who is moved by conscience to go down to ground zero.
Using the 'Five Point' system, this movie is a four pointer.

| | This just a shameless profit-making gambit to cash-in on a tragedy.
BTW when does it start in theaters again?

I saw the film today. I was disappointed with the two brief depictions of Jesus in someone's vision, as it was unnecessary (it was random, out-of-place and added nothing), sacrilegious (the image of Jesus was casually holding a water bottle), unlawful (Exodus 20) and resembled a theology of glory (people receiving special revelation in trying times).
Even so, aside from those two extremely brief clips, it was an admirable film. As someone on one movie board has said, "The movie had so much heart and showed how this major event brought together so many people. It shows the importance of families and the hearts of strangers helping strangers. It was a true story about two brave heroes. It wasn't just a cheap attempt at hollywood making a quick buck."
