  1. The movie's heart is in the right place, but it looks and sounds regrettably bogus.
  2. The results are often exciting and, except for occa­sional overacting by Calil, feels authentic. But the whole notion of exploiting a war and its victims to shoot a commercial feature is reprehensible.
  3. 30
    Intentionally blurs fiction and reality.

    What is most reprehensible about this film is that this is an attempt to make money from the loss of life after 9-11. The actors should be embarrassed, similar techniques used in "Blair witch project" without the originality, in an attempt to dupe the American public. Collapse
  2. Exploitative trash.
