esoder This movie was so bad I couldn't turn it off. It's rare for a "historical" movie like this to be released so soon after the events transpired. What's great is that seeing it now, we are able to see it for the propaganda that it is. Take a movie like JFK that tries to rewrite history. While a lot of JFK is presented as speculation, the notion that Kennedy was trying to get the U.S. out of Vietnam has been debunked by documents released over the years. Still, it is somewhat difficult to research the facts because they happened so long ago. What's really funny about this 9/11 movie is that it presents so many lies and inaccuracies as facts while the news is still fresh. I'd like to watch it again with my 9/11 Commission Report at hand to count how many things are just plain wrong. All that aside, it's just impossible for me to accept the scenes of W "helping" his speech writers and referring to Cheney as "consigliere." This could work as a musical comedy if they just added some music.

kingplanet Bravo to Showtime, actor Timothy Bottoms, director Brian Trenchard-Smith and screenwriter Lionel Chetwynd. They have made a motion picture that showed a nation under attack and a presidency ready to meet the challenge of the war on terror for years to come. This is one of the most intense made for cable films I have ever seen. Bottoms is awesome in his performance as President George W. Bush. I liked the fact that he didn't try to do a fake imitation of the President's voice, he just simply made the role his own and used the President's words and actions speak for themselves. Intercutting with actual footage was a stroke of genius on the film makers part, as it added to the horror and realism. We will no doubt over the years learn much more about the 9/11 attacks on our country and another motion picture will probably be made later on, but this film about the first few days of the attack and the decisive steps taken by this administration will stand firmly on its own. It wasn't that long ago and the film indeed represents very closely what actually happened. There is a lot of debate on the IMDb about this film and everyone should be glad we live in a country where you have the free speech to do that. there are SEVERAL countries where you cannot.

Frank This movie shows the true courage, passion, and strength that President George W. Bush showed on September 11th 2001. This movie was a spectacular counter to Michael Moore's piece of partisan, biased, trash movie Fahrenheit 9/11.Bottom Line ... if you are a Republican or someone who cares about the safety of our country than you will LOVE this movie.If you are a Michael Moore loving piece of trash who wants thinks the terrorists have rights too and have a good, just reason to attack America then you will HATE this film.We NEED to Re-Elect George W. Bush to ensure the sanctity of our country! Sometimes the RIGHT thing to do isn't always the popular thing to do!

Eric-62-2 Thank God for Lionel Chetwynd, because it means there is at least one filmmaker in Hollywood with enough sanity to deviate from the radical garbage of Michael Moore and his documented lies to just tell the truth about what happened on 9/11, which shows the courageous and effective response of our national leaders to the greatest tragedy in American history.Liberals who want to carp about a film that dares to show a positive depiction of President Bush have been pampered for years with fawning (and often not always accurate) portrayals of Democrat presidents in action (see the well-done "Missiles Of October" and the awful "Thirteen Days" for instance) that it speaks volumes to their general sense of intolerance to throw fits over a film that dares to show a positive depiction of a Republican president in action.But unlike liberal movies with their indulgence for hate-filled conspiracy rhetoric about conservatives and Republicans, there are no cheap shots thrown at Democrat politicians in this film. Sure, we hear talk about "changes in policy" but there are no direct digs at Bill Clinton which Chetwynd easily could have done. The intent, like "The Missiles Of October", is to recreate how our leaders acted in a time of crisis, and in that respect he succeeds brilliantly just like "The Missiles Of October" did for the Cuban Missile Crisis.The performances are outstanding. Timothy Bottoms nails W. down perfectly as do the rest of the cast (although I didn't think Lawrence Pressman quite got Dick Cheney). It's enough to make you at times think you're listening in on the real events as they unfolded.Bravo Lionel Chetwynd for providing people who understand the facts about 9/11 and President Bush for giving us a welcome antidote to the mountains of filth from the likes of Michael Moore and other self-hating Americans.
