A group of five people find themselves trapped in an elevator in the World Trade Center's North Tower on 9/11. They work together, never giving up hope, to try to escape before the unthinkable happens. 9/11 has it's moments but it never achieves the dramatic moments of it's source material and i'm talking about one of the saddest moments in history alright? This needed to achieve and expand more it's characters and the story of those people instead of having jokes, random scenes that had no balance and an ending that was disappointing. Also Goldberg's role was overcooked and under developed and i did expected alot more from this film. (5.4/10)

This is the biggest oscarbait movie i have ever seen. Littery everything in this movie is bad. all the actors are bad in this movie ive seen pornos with better actors and set designs. the elevator set looks like a basement and the control room looks like its made out of boxes. the characters are thin as hell. also i hate the cliche of the black guy hating white people just cus this movie feels so racist anyone who is not white in this movie is a stereotype.

When I saw Charlie Sheen and Gina Gershon were both in this flick (I love both of them and inadvertently fell upon the listing), I was like "cool" . . . and then disheartened when I saw the 3.6 rating. After scanning the reviews here, I felt like the lower ratings weren't 'on' and so I decided to go ahead and check it out. Happy I did. It was a really good movie all in all and the performances of everyone were pretty much outstanding, possibly even the best of the lead act-resses'/-ors' careers and I can't think of a negative thing to say about it either, so check it out.

9/11 is based on Patrick James Carson's play Elevator. It is a low budget film about five people trapped in an elevator in the north tower of the World Trade Center on 11 September 2001.I still remember a work colleague in Britain telling me what happened during that day. The way he described it I was not sure whether he was joking or not or whether the whole thing was just incredulous. I tried to go on the BBC news website and it took ages for it to download the headline page because of the volume of the net traffic.Charlie Sheen and Gina Gershon are a couple on the verge of divorce. He is a billionaire, the lift they use suddenly stops. Luis Guzman plays a worker in the lift who contacts Whoopie Goldberg who works in the maintenance room.The five people in the elevator are initially unaware as to what has happened but slowly they become aware especially via Goldberg what is happening all around them and they need to get out of the elevator quickly.The film does look a bit cheap and quickly shot but the actors give passionate and earnest performances, especially as it dawns on them as to the peril they are in and something very serious has taken place.Even the audience would fear the worse for these five people and that they make not make it out alive.The film does draw you in and rather captivates you as it goes along even though at times you also feel the film is manipulative. I can understand why the movie was accused of bad taste because of its release date near the date of the disaster.
