The Asylum, the studio best known for really bad and really cheap "mockbusters" decided to deliver something straight in this docudrama based on the commission report that was released on the September 11, 2001 attacks. Leigh Scott wrote and directed this picture and I think the majority of the blame has to go to the screenplay. I'm really not sure what type of story they were trying to get across but it's an incredible mess that never makes too much sense. Trying to get all of the pre-9/11 stuff into a low-budget, 84-minute movie was probably a bad idea to begin with but it certainly doesn't help that the execution is so poor. The story is pretty much impossible to follow but even worse is the really bad dialogue. As bad as the dialogue is, it doesn't help that the performances range from bland to bad. I mean, the story is bad, the dialogue is bad and the performances are bad so with all of this considered it's really easy to see why the film tanked. Whenever you're trying to deliver a political thriller, having all of those elements not work is just leading to a disaster. I can't say how many times we were supposed to be caught up in this tense political thriller yet the dialogue they were saying seemed to have been written by a ten-year-old and the performances saying it appeared to be from a high school play. There's just no way around the fact that this film really shouldn't have been made or at least not in the fashion that it was. The "Jason Bourne" style of filmmaking with the camera just sliding around everywhere also doesn't work here. I'm sure it was meant to draw us into the action but it fails. In the end, this film is just bad all around and if you're going to watch something bad from The Asylum then it's best to get something that's also campy.
1) The video quality appears to be something from an entry level consumer video camera.
2) Shots taken on the streets have massive camera bobbing and make you feel sick and unable to focus.
3)The audio almost never syncs with the video. In fact sometimes it's a full second off.
4) The volume must often be turned way up to hear certain scenes.
5) The actors dialog always seems muffled.
6) There are no subtitles to understand extremely muffled scenes which makes it hard to follow the plot.
7) Even shots taken from a stationary point have an unsteady camera view. They never bothered buying a tripod I suppose.
As for the quality of the story... I really can't give that an honest opinion because I simply couldn't catch it all due to the above technical flaws. I really wish it had subtitles it would be possible to follow.
All-in-all: Rent something else. This is too difficult to watch. The parts you can actually hear seem interesting, but you just can't follow most of it without subtitles --which aren't present.
its bad filmed, the sound product is a mess, with so much background noise ,even in well enclosed office rooms,so you may start thinking. the plot is very incoherent and bad worked out, and all of the story is merely how the intelligence agenciec and justice organs of the west, handled the data given to them on the upcoming events on the mentioned date.
this is not a good film, bad acting all over the line, and ends into infinity of nothing, why this is made is a mystery to me nd even in 2006 this was common knowledge for the ones who are merely a bit history freaked.
not a good watch think the grumpy old man
I found myself getting seasick as we walked down the streets with the characters,bobbing up and down with each move of the cameraman'step.My mother-in-law even changed the batteries in her miracle ear and she could not hear the muffled dialog. Extensive post production editing and CGI would not help this bomb. These students would "barely" pass my course.My advise...don't waste your time or money for the one "A".

- CuriosidadesThe film was released to capitalize on Vôo United 93 (2006) and As Torres Gêmeas (2006), which were films that also focused on the attacks of September 11th, 2001.

Jamie: Any ideas what to do with Moussaoui?
Gary: Ben says deport him. Get him the fuck out of here.
Jamie: At least that way he can't do anything to us.
Rosalind: No, we can't do that. He's part of something bigger. I know it.
Jamie: How do you know it's something bigger?
Rosalind: I don't know. I... don't know. It's like a sixth sense or something. Why does a cop check the trunk of a car in a routine traffic stop only to find a kilo of cocaine?
Jamie: Legally we can't. That's the point.
Gary: I'm curious. What do you think he's up to? Do you have some kind of detailed idea?
Rosalind: Yes. Yes, I do.
Jamie: I'm all ears.
Rosalind: Okay, we've received memos from headquarters and the FAA. There were two of them that stuck out in my mind. One was from Arizona about Arab men attending flight schools. So we assume that there are more men like Moussaoui out there. The second was about possible hijackings. They uncovered a plot to negotiate the release of the blind sheik in New York who masterminded the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center.
Jamie: Go on.
Rosalind: Well, Moussaoui joined a gym, right? Took kickboxing classes. His roommate said that they practiced wrestling. Yet he had shin guards and knifes when we arrested him. Think about this. Moussaoui is part of a hijacking plot here in the US. Small teams of five maybe six Arab men. One of them is a pilot. They take control of a plane. Subdue the crew. Because of FAA instructions, the crew and passengers are told not to resist because the hijackers are gonna negotiate. Right? Only this is no ordinary hijacking. They don't negotiate. Once these Arab hijackers have control of the plane, they change the flight patterns. Instead of flying to another country or another state where they land the plane to negotiate with the authorities, they turn commercial airlines into weapons of mass destruction. Manned missiles. They crash the airliner into a building with the deliberate intent to kill themselves and all the passengers on-board and as many civilians on the ground. They leave behind no claim of responsibility. Osama Bin Laden and the other masterminds behind this who recruited the hijackers publicly issue plausible deny ability. Nothing to connect them to the Arab hijackers. It's too perfect.
Jamie: I remember the World Trade Center terrorists discussing a plan to trash a small plane into CIA Headquarters. This whole idea is not that far fetched.
Gary: That's why Moussaoui wanted to know so much about fuel payloads.
Rosalind: And they train far from their targets. They're not a lot of landmarks in Arizona or Oklahoma or here in Minnesota, but there are sure a lot of them in New York, LA, Chicago, Washington DC.
Jamie: We can't just deport this guy. We need to follow it up.
Gary: What if we do deport him? We deport him now, but we deport his belongings later.
Jamie: What's that gonna do?
Gary: The airlines are constantly loosing my luggage. So it's not that inconceivable that we, a bureaucracy like the FBI, might loose a couple of things.
Rosalind: Okay, so if we search his belongings over international waters or in France, we're not breaking any laws.
Jamie: I like it. So first thing tomorrow, we push for deportation.
Gary: It's a pretty quick process without putting him on a plane in two or three weeks.
Jamie: Okay, lets shoot for three weeks from now, which is September 17.
Rosalind: Wait. Moussaoui paid for two weeks of flight training. Only two weeks. We have to do this immediately.
Jamie: First of all we cannot just put this guy on a plane. There's a procedure here and it's called the Constitution.
Rosalind: But the Constitution is not a suicide pack. Whatever that Moussoui is planning is happening soon.
Gary: Hold on here. This is the best plan we have on the table. Do you have a better idea?
Jamie: Who's got friends in France?
Rosalind: There's an agent I know who is pretty helpful.
Gary: Okay, call them. Let them know what we're up to. Tell them about Moussaoui. But not everything.
Jamie: I think we're doing a good thing there. At least we can agree on that.
