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.
