World Trade Center (2006)
Wow. Just wow.
World Trade Center starts out following four NYNJ Port Authority Police officers on their way to work; John McLoughlin (Nicholas Cage), Will Jimeno (Michael Pena), Dominick "Dom" Pezzulo (Jay Hernandez), and Antonio Rodrigues (Armando Riesco). They are all given their assignments around town by McLoughlin, and head out to do their work. When they begin working, a huge shadow flies overhead and a boom rocks the city. When they finally find out what has happened and arrive at the towers to evacuate them, these 4 brave officers start to get equipment and head in. Christopher Amoroso (Jon Bernthal) joins in. All of a sudden, boom after boom rings out, glass breaks, the earth shakes, and the officers realize that the booms are the floors of the towers collapsing down on eachother.
The rest of the movie is the officers trying to survive amongst the rubble of the fallen buildings.
This movie was, in my opinion, the best of the year. It was the only film i have been to where, when the movie ended, nobody rose from their seats. Everyone sat there, many crying, and thought. Even as the audience began to rise, there was silence. You could hear the clicking of the projector from the front of the theater.
I loved this movie, and will definitely be getting it as soon as the DVD comes out. I might not even be able to wait that long and have to see it in the theater again.
