Stephen Daldry who gave us "Billy Elliot" tries the story of a boy against the odds once again, for profit, I guess. Wrong! Unforgivable really. To use 9/11 to strap tears out of the audience. How dare you? A comedy would have been more appropriate. Here, nothing works. I was embarrassed, I had to look away. That kid! Oh my God, that kid! Are we supposed to feel for him? Not even under the devastating circumstances I could warm up to him. Shrill is the word who comes to mind. There are little moments with Max Von Sydow that seem to belong to a different movie, and okay but the rest. What a miscalculated attempt to scoop a buck from an unsuspecting audience. Shame on you!
