Real-life heroes, John McLoughlin and William J. Jimeno, two Port Authority Police Officers who are trapped in the rubble of the world trade centre towers when they come crashing down. As they attempt to keep each other ‘awake’ – they know that if they go to sleep, that could be it for them – their respective families pray and panic for their safe-return.

Is this a well made film? Yes. Perhaps more importantly, with a couple of exceptions, it’s a respectful one. Yet unless you like feeling lost and hopeless, there’s just no good reason to watch World Trade Center. Supporters are already calling this movie a tribute to the victims of 9/11, a way of honoring and remembering them. But if you really want to honour them, is buying a ticket to a depressing Oliver Stone movie the best way we can come up with to do it? The movie has tremendous emotional impact, but only because it trades on the terror still lingering in our souls from the day’s events. It’s strange, but even though United 93 ends in death while World Trade Center ends in rescue, it’s WTC that winds up feeling futile. Both United 93 and World Trade Center force you to relive the events of that day, but United 93 puts you through that misery for a reason. In WTC, there's little purpose behind it beyond simply reliving that horror. Unless you're a sadist, there's no reason to do that. If there’s a message in it, it’s that no matter how hard we fight, or hard we struggle, there’s nothing any of us can really do to stop terror from coming crashing down on us. There’s no light at the end of World Trade Center. Only despair.

What I've learnt from it,we are always stuck to our comfort zone. Singapore may not be safe forever. Live your life everyday like it's your last. Look at your love ones and tell them 'I Love You'. It doesn't hurt saying this 3 words.

"Pain is your Friend. If you feel pain, you're still alive".
