Review
Charlie Sheen finds himself stuck in an
elevator in the North Tower of the World Trade Center with his
estranged wife Gina Gershon and a few other random New Yorkers in
this little suspense film looking to capitalize on the September 11
attacks. The link to actual events is weak, however, and the film
doesn’t have the budget or scope to transport you back and make you
experience the magnitude of the events. Instead, the film plays as
the stage act from which it was adapted, with the occasional bouts
of character-based suspense and ticking clocks as its best assets.
The picture is oddly star-studded: Whoopie Goldberg plays the
elevator dispatcher, Luis Guzmán a building custodian, and
Jacqueline Bisset appears as Gershon’s mother.
