Interesting movie.

I gave it a 6. Some performances were good, but most were forgettable. I never really got to know any of the characters, and some scenes dragged on a bit.

However, it was pretty interesting to get an inside look on how the government attempted to capture Bin Laden and their knowledge of an impending attack. The film was well-shot and so was the lighting. For an Asylum film, I wasn't expecting to be as engaged as I was. Also, avoiding stock footage of the attacks was a very wise decision. We all know what happened on that day, but to dig deeper into the government's actions was quite intriguing.

I look forward to seeing more of your works, Mr. Scott

I just saw it, and I think you were pretty much spot on. I gave it a 7, but I'm in a pretty good mood. On a worse day, I might have given it a 6. It's probably about a 6.5, if such a thing existed. Most of the problems were probably related to the low budget, but Leigh Scott got a lot out of what must have been more or less the equivalent of the catering budget on a summer blockbuster. Most importantly, he got the tone and the pacing right. If he had got them wrong, this movie could so easily have been boring, offensive, or both. I may get it out again tomorrow and watch it with the audio commentary.
