EmmanuelPerson This film is the perfect medium to get people thinking about 9/11, the event, the contradictions and its legacy. It manages to pack so many astounding facts about 9/11 and present them in a gripping manner.I especially like the way viewers get to live through the hurdles faced by other concerned journalists and citizens investigating 9/11. For example, the hit-piece by the "Bare Facts" O'Reilly-esk news sequence with the sullying 'expert' is very fitting.Producing a movie on such a controversial and under-reported topic must've been tough. But it was well worth it and should be an inspiration to all of us.

krice43 A failure artistically and as education.This docudrama depicts a search for the truth about the events of 9/11. It takes place in 2006, and, apparently, only 3 people in the world are skeptical enough about the 'official story' to decide to investigate it. The main character is a magazine journalist who has a few weeks in which to write an article exposing the truth. This is not helpful to the 9/11 Truth movement, since by 2006 many thousands of people were interested and/or investigating and hundreds of books and DVDs had been published on the topic.As if that's not bad enough, the acting is pretty bad and the writing is pedestrian.

sszucker an excellent dramatic investigation of one of the most horrific and avoidable tragic incidents of modern times.The movie asks the most basic questions not covered by the press or official report.Why did the building collapse so rapidly and in such a controlled manner into their own footprint? Even the one not hit by an airplane? Why did the pentagon suffer so little damage after an entire 747 plunged into it? Why is there so little wreckage or bodies recovered? This is a well acted, terse and no nonsense directed film that belies its meager budget. A dedicated group of professionals must have been behind this film.Go see it. Tell your friends to see it and remember that most official versions of political reality rarely are any better than the worst conspiracy theory.

jimcirile "The Reflecting Pool" may just be the "All the President's Men" of our time. No, it doesn't have Hoffman and Redford. But it is a gripping, chilling and important fact-based investigative drama. Writer/director Jarek Kupsc ("Slumberland") stars as Alex Prokop, a successful hard-hitting Russian/American journalist. As a last gasp before corporate takeover, his editor (Lisa Black) hands Prokop a bombshell assignment -- investigate the official version of 9-11. Prokop, dismissive of 9-11 skeptics, reluctantly teams with grieving father Paul Cooper (the outstanding Joseph Culp) to investigate. After losing his daughter in the attacks, Cooper transformed himself into a 9-11 expert -- at the expense of his marriage. As Prokop and Cooper kick at the hornets' nest, a sickening, carefully orchestrated pattern of deceit emerges – and Prokop finds publishing the story may mean curtains on his career.The well-researched (and exhaustively documented on the DVD) thriller ultimately proves more compelling than 9-11-themed documentaries such as "Loose Change" by taking a narrative approach and by personalizing the story. Disbelieving investigative reporter Prokop is an effective audience surrogate, while the passionate, fragile and self-destructive Cooper grounds the story with heart and soul -- a constant reminder of the human cost of the "war on terror." The script is solid, the characterizations moving. If the film has a flaw, it's in trying to document so much evidence in a narrative structure. Yet by and large, it pulls it off to deliver a chilling and effective message – maybe it *can* happen here."The Reflecting Pool" that will open eyes, anger some and test the faith of others. But it also finally gives voice to the 48% of Americans distrustful the official 9-11 story, according to a recent Zogby poll. And it's a tour de force from writer/director/actor Jarek Kupsc. See it and draw your own conclusions.
