Reelviews Turning back the calendar to the morning of September 11, 2001 is a risky proposition for any director, and not to be undertaken lightly. Paul Greengrass succeeded brilliantly with his United 93 and now Oliver Stone, never one to back away from a challenge, has decided to tell another story under the 9/11 umbrella. His film, World Trade Center, comes unencumbered by the director's baggage. There is no political message. James Berardinelli

San Francisco Chronicle Moments of realization are inherently dramatic. That's why there's no such thing as a boring Sept. 11 story. Ask anyone what he or she did and thought that morning, and the story you'll hear will always be dramatic and interesting. Mick LaSalle

The Boston Globe "World Trade Center" builds a memorial to the risen, actually -- two New York Port Authority cops who survived being buried for nearly 24 hours under the rubble of Tower Two. If that seems unduly rosy in the face of the 2,759 people who didn't make it, the movie has the grace to suggest we need those few who return carrying the tale. Ty Burr

USA Today World Trade Center is a fitting and moving tribute to all those who died or were wounded as the towers tumbled on that horrible day in September 2001. It also is a powerful film told without any discernible political agenda. There can be no more gripping subject to mine for cinematic potency and drama than what has come to be called, in clichéd shorthand, "the terrible events of Sept. 11." Claudia Puig
