Better than average TV movie

Typical made for TV movie. Over-dramatic at times, but got the job done. The actor who played the character who kept the families of the victims updated, did an excellent job with his pittsburgh accent. Although it was a small part, the man who played Gov. Schweiker portrayed him perfectly.

Very touching story. Better than average TV movie, especially since these events just took place a few months ago.

excellent

I thought that the movie was terrific. The special effects were amazing. The mine scene was very realistic. I am originally from that area of Pennsylvania and I thought the actors did a great job portraying the coal miners.

Not bad but why didn't they film an ending???

OK TV Movie, actually refreshing to have a positive story and family oriented characters as opposed to the trash that's usually thrown at the public in the form of a TV movie.

It did give the viewer a look at what it must've been like for those 9 workers. I wish they would've added, or informed the viewers of the actual dates. If this movie is viewed several years from now, it would be nice to inform new viewers when it took place. It does have that "Get the TV movie out there right away..." feel to it as you watch but it isn't bad at all.

Could've been a lot better and the abrupt ending was a disappointment.

Made me want to puke

This movie was absolutely terrible. I have never seen such maudlin crap. I mean, every single little cliche was found in this movie. Crying wives, friendships tested, hope. I mean, sure those are good themes and all, but it wasn't done in an original way. The makers had a real opportunity here to make a good movie out of an event that touched America, but all they did was make crap to take advantage of the currently patriotic America. Really made me sick to watch every scene.

Motivated by profit

It is clear this movie was motivated by the desire to profit from this almost tragedy. How else could one explain the speed with which this movie was made! Like many others I followed this story with interest when it happened last summer. I was very happy to see this rescue effort succeed. I would have preferred to see this movie produced for a movie theater or at least a movie station (HBO or Showtime)! I have met a miner or two in my day and I'm certain the language was not as mild as the dialog in this production! I rated this movie a 6 because of the obvious censorship displayed in the dialog. I hope the brave men who lived through this ordeal received a LARGE sum of money from ABC or whatever production company created this movie.
