The Reflecting Pool (2008)

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

The acting in this movie is really good.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

9/11 was probably the most tragic day I can remember, it has always fascinated me...it's just so unbelievable, every time I see it on T.V, I wonder how could it be real! Well, this drama focuses on a journalist who teams up with a father who lost his daughter who was on one of the planes that hit one of the towers. The father believes that the whole thing was set up by the US government. Together they put all the pieces together, and the conspiracy theory they have is really does make you wonder...too many coincidences occurred on that day!Why did both towers collapse in their own footprint?...Almost as if they were controlled demolitions! Building 7 fell in a completely straight line when all it had was a small section of flames and was not even hit by a plane.NYC Firefighters claim to have heard loud explosions fron under the towers when the 1st plane hit, but their statements were totally overlooked by the commission!Why were all the cameras from buildings surrounding The Pentagon confiscated half an hour after it was also attacked. And only five picture frames were ever released to the public, where you can't make out anything really...bearing in mind this is America's most well guarded building! Unbelievably, the questions keep getting asked to the people who seem like they are covering the whole thing up, high people just can't give concrete answers.I think everybody should watch this because it really does make you wonder, some people will always believe what they think they saw on T.V, but I believe more people are looking at the bigger picture here.So worth checking out...There definitely is more to 9/11 than meets the eye!

This film is the perfect medium to get people thinking about 9/11, the event, the contradictions and its legacy. It manages to pack so many astounding facts about 9/11 and present them in a gripping manner.I especially like the way viewers get to live through the hurdles faced by other concerned journalists and citizens investigating 9/11. For example, the hit-piece by the "Bare Facts" O'Reilly-esk news sequence with the sullying 'expert' is very fitting.Producing a movie on such a controversial and under-reported topic must've been tough. But it was well worth it and should be an inspiration to all of us.

A failure artistically and as education.This docudrama depicts a search for the truth about the events of 9/11. It takes place in 2006, and, apparently, only 3 people in the world are skeptical enough about the 'official story' to decide to investigate it. The main character is a magazine journalist who has a few weeks in which to write an article exposing the truth. This is not helpful to the 9/11 Truth movement, since by 2006 many thousands of people were interested and/or investigating and hundreds of books and DVDs had been published on the topic.As if that's not bad enough, the acting is pretty bad and the writing is pedestrian.

an excellent dramatic investigation of one of the most horrific and avoidable tragic incidents of modern times.The movie asks the most basic questions not covered by the press or official report.Why did the building collapse so rapidly and in such a controlled manner into their own footprint? Even the one not hit by an airplane? Why did the pentagon suffer so little damage after an entire 747 plunged into it? Why is there so little wreckage or bodies recovered? This is a well acted, terse and no nonsense directed film that belies its meager budget. A dedicated group of professionals must have been behind this film.Go see it. Tell your friends to see it and remember that most official versions of political reality rarely are any better than the worst conspiracy theory.
