Let me begin by saying, as a European I didn't really feel like this movie was aimed at me even though 9/11 (11/9) effected us all. I was only 11 years old at that time but I still remember seeing those towers fall in horror on the news even though I was living half way around the world.
That being said, I don't really understand why there are so many harsh reviews of this movie out there. I kind of feel like ther are too man PC euro trash like myself downvoting this just because this is clearly aimed at the US market. Sure this movie is a bit of a "hurrah USA" movie, but so what? I found the movie quite entertaining and definitely worth watching, however If you're expecting something like Saving Private Ryan or Black Hawk Down you have too high expectations. I kind of like to think of this as a 80's action movie but for the 21st century.
