About
If you want a grounded, emotionally heavy survival-and-rescue drama focused on endurance and families waiting for news, this may work for you; Not for you if you want distance from 9/11 or a broader overview like United 93.
Pros: intense disaster imagery; strong lead performances; respectful, emotional tone | Cons: standard rescue drama; uneven early pacing; heavy-handed narration
