      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      As a visually stunning tribute to lives lost in tragedy, World Trade Center succeeds unequivocally, and it is more politically muted than many of Stone's other works.

      Audience Member Gut wrenching movie - it’s a very specific movie to the involvement of a couple guys - so don’t expect it to give you the full story. It’s amazing how much more of an emotional tug a movie can be when you know the real, full story. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/08/24 Full Review Classical Y pretty damn cool however much of the movie is spent under the rubble with the protagonists. To be expected from a movie based on such an event but its not for everyone. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/04/24 Full Review Giorgio S I excpected it to be better. Nic is ok but there are strong performances from Michael Peña and Maggie Gyllenhaal. There are two good cameos and the setpieces are awasome. The finale is one of the most satisfying I have ever seen. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/06/23 Full Review Cathy S I thought I was excellent..Nicholas Cage was great! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/20/23 Full Review Jacob B While not as powerful as fellow 9/11 film United 93, World Trade Center is still a poignant drama with great performances from its actors and mercifully avoiding any "inside job" conspiracy theories given who the director is. I think the pacing would've been better if they kept the focus solely on these two police officers trapped in the WTC's wreckage (good job on I'm guessing a combination of production designers and VFX artists for how they designed its remains like something straight out of a post-apocalyptic film...which I suppose IRL it essentially was; I know some people who were half asleep and when they saw it on the news mistook it for a movie clip) and the attempts made to rescue them. But all in all, this is still a decent film that does a good job paying its respects to the victims of one of the most shocking terrorist attacks in history, even if I still prefer the aforementioned United 93's docudrama approach rather than this film's more conventional narrative structure. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/12/23 Full Review Izaiah H this movie is terrible. if you want to get traumatized its a must watch.

      Deborah Ross The Spectator Admittedly, there are a few great shots... But, still, none of it says anything new. And it's just so sentimental. Aug 22, 2018 Full Review Stanley Kauffmann The New Republic (Director Oliver) Stone has concentrated on one of the catastrophe's stories and has fashioned it well -- with almost palpable physical detail, and with performances that never sink to exploitation. Oct 26, 2006 Full Review Sandra Hall Sydney Morning Herald It celebrates the courage of the rescue teams and the fortitude of their families while giving you a visceral sense of what it was like to be among them. Rated: 3/5 Oct 1, 2006 Full Review David Walsh World Socialist Web Site Stone's work is thoroughly conformist and encourages various forms of backwardness. Feb 14, 2021 Full Review Micheal Compton Bowling Green Daily News I can't recommend World Trade Center, but I will say I respect the effort. Still, I think the material deserved a better final product than the one that Stone has delivered. Nov 20, 2019 Full Review Mattie Lucas The Dispatch (Lexington, NC) A simple, hauntingly devastating, yet finally optimistic experience. Rated: 3.5/4 Jun 6, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
