20 Worst Movie Moments Of The Decade
16. 9/11 - Elevator Freefall
Good lord, what is this monstrosity?!
The fact that anyone chose to make a disaster movie set on 9/11 and have Charlie Sheen, who has said some highly controversial stuff about the event, star in it is bewildering enough, but the way in which the film was then done in such an amateurish way with such a terrible, soap opera-like script truly beggars belief.
If a movie is to be made about a tragedy that is still very sensitive, it should at least do the event and everyone that was lost justice, but this ghastly flick fails in that task so much that the film's closing title, which dedicates it to everyone who died in the attacks, feels like an enormous insult to them instead.
The scene in which the lift carrying the film's characters starts free-falling is the one moment you'll never be able to forget. The sight of the characters floating in the air in a painfully fake manner is horrendous enough, but the fact that is linked to something as horrific as 9/11 makes this one of the most head-smackingly awful things you've ever seen.
