Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Professor Steve Jones of BYU was fired due to his meticulous and accurately scientific findings of demolition explosive material in the ash acquired by residents of New York! 9/11 was an inside job and I am so very happy that the truth is coming forth. I have a friend who wrote a fiction book based on a vision before 9/11 ever occurred that contained information that this was an inside job to ensure a money-making "war on terrorism" (See "Iraq for Sale: the War-Profiteers" for the billions of dollars made on wars!)! I am so glad that there are patriotic Americans who do NOT ignore the truth and are valiant to proclaim the truth rather than seeking money and status quo! All guilty parties for the inside-job of 9/11 will rot in hell as you cannot take money and power with you. This was an extremely GREAT movie with a most IMPORTANT message, "Everything checks out" in this movie! It makes sense which does determine truth! Why do people believe lies when the truth is staring you right in your face?

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!

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.

"The Reflecting Pool" may just be the "All the President's Men" of our time. No, it doesn't have Hoffman and Redford. But it is a gripping, chilling and important fact-based investigative drama. Writer/director Jarek Kupsc ("Slumberland") stars as Alex Prokop, a successful hard-hitting Russian/American journalist. As a last gasp before corporate takeover, his editor (Lisa Black) hands Prokop a bombshell assignment -- investigate the official version of 9-11. Prokop, dismissive of 9-11 skeptics, reluctantly teams with grieving father Paul Cooper (the outstanding Joseph Culp) to investigate. After losing his daughter in the attacks, Cooper transformed himself into a 9-11 expert -- at the expense of his marriage. As Prokop and Cooper kick at the hornets' nest, a sickening, carefully orchestrated pattern of deceit emerges – and Prokop finds publishing the story may mean curtains on his career.The well-researched (and exhaustively documented on the DVD) thriller ultimately proves more compelling than 9-11-themed documentaries such as "Loose Change" by taking a narrative approach and by personalizing the story. Disbelieving investigative reporter Prokop is an effective audience surrogate, while the passionate, fragile and self-destructive Cooper grounds the story with heart and soul -- a constant reminder of the human cost of the "war on terror." The script is solid, the characterizations moving. If the film has a flaw, it's in trying to document so much evidence in a narrative structure. Yet by and large, it pulls it off to deliver a chilling and effective message – maybe it *can* happen here."The Reflecting Pool" that will open eyes, anger some and test the faith of others. But it also finally gives voice to the 48% of Americans distrustful the official 9-11 story, according to a recent Zogby poll. And it's a tour de force from writer/director/actor Jarek Kupsc. See it and draw your own conclusions.
