Avis à la une
Well written, edited, and so forth. Keaton and Tucci are masterful in their portrayals. The movie has very touching moments that portrays the situation in the film as well as those of the stories of the people this is based on in a very sympathetic and emotional manner. I would recommend to almost anyone who asks me to give it a shot. My only real criticism is that it can be slow at times, and at the core concept the movies plot self describes to be about justice. How suing the airlines over the events of 9/11 is about justice or the motivation in doing so however is never explained.
It comes down to characters always saying the whole movie is about being just but never once explains why it's the airlines fault.

There have been hundreds of films and TV shows documenting what happened on 9/11 and to be brutally honest , I stopped watching them years ago because it seems like it has become a bit of an obsession. I only decided to watch Worth because of its cast and it coming from a different angle and I'm quite glad I did .
Michael Keaton plays an attorney in Washington D. C who battles against cynicism, bureaucracy and politics to help the victims of 9/11 and although that sounds it a little dull , it really isn't.
There is no doubt that the best thing about this film is the performances from Michael Keaton and Stanley Tucci. Tucci probably being the better of the two .
There are no shock tactics used in this film which is good because we've seen it all before.
Instead we get a view of how it was almost impossible to put a price on the lives of the people who died or were injured in the terrorist attack.
One scene stuck with me . They we discussing compensation with the representatives of highly paid workers and low paid workers and true to type the latter just wanted as much money as the could possible squeeze out of the government and the lower paid were totally grateful at their offers .
This won't be everyone's cup of tea because it's very dialogue heavy but I enjoyed it much more than I was expecting.

This movie is frustrating because its has so many of the ingredients needed for a great movie but it's not a great movie and I don't know what the missing ingredient is. But it plods along without impetus. It needs a jolt from a director who would see a great story thats told in a boring way is not story to be retold.
I want to be sure you watch it. Films like this are less here for ratings than they are to tell us something we need to be reminded of.
With the 20th September 11th about to arrive it's important we remember as much as we can about the people who were lost and their families who are devastated as a result.
This film tells their stories through the eyes of one man who had to be convinced that the 9/11 victims fund was more about the victims than it was about the fund.
His realization and resulting humanity is an account of decency that will help us remember that we can still be kind and decent to each other and when times are tough maybe that's the most important thing we can be to each other.

The good: excellent acting performance by Michael Keaton. Photography and direction are great as well.
What's missing? Anything bad? Well, this movie turns into a feel good movie, wherein all the 9/11 vicitm's families suddenly start treating the government as a friend, while in real life there was no such thing. In fact there is still a lot of resentment towards the government because of the fact that a lot of volunteer aid workers did not get a penny. Not even for their severe disabilities.
Still not a bad movie, but a movie which feels like someone is whitewashing the mistreatment of many aid workers by painting a rosy picture of a terrible mistreatment of volunteer aid workers.

- AnecdotesWhen the wall of photos of missing people is shown, the same photos are used over and over in different ways.
- GaffesTowards the end of the movie, a chyron appears with the text "December 19, 2003, 5 days until the deadline" then a few seconds later it cuts to a shot of the characters' whiteboard with the text indicating the deadline is December 22, 2003 and is 3 days away, contradicting the chyron preceding it.
