Though
it seems wrong to criticize any work about 9/11, 8:46 does not deliver the intended heart and depth. The idea seems simple enough: follow
fictional families around their daily lives the day before and the morning of
the tragedy. The point is to show
the pain and anguish experienced by all who were affected directly, but the
acting performances were almost laughable. I found myself desperate for one person to come on screen and
convince me, but to no avail. The
film should have worked. The
stories were very true and honest, and the real news coverage used made an
emotional impact, but neither was able to save this embarrassing display.
