POSITIVES…
The question "What is life worth" is essentially the driving force of this premise that's based on a true story, and it's a question worth answering.
Fascinating to see the complicated process of how the victim's loved ones were compensated for their loss in the attacks.
Complicated process? How about understanding the uncomplicated emotions of losing people you loved from the attacks!
"Government-sponsored charity…" "with strings attached."
"Be a person, not a politician."
Mixing the politics with the human interest drama was done in a very compelling way.
Michael Keaton is great as Ken Feinberg. The journey he goes from the beginning of the movie until the conclusion is worth following.
Rest of the cast is great, from Amy Ryan, Stanley Tucci, Shunori Ramanathan, Laura Benanti, Chris Tardio, Tate Donovan, plus many more, and that includes the dog.
Some tough emotional powerful moments, scenes, and testimonials here.
That introductory meeting that addressed the 9/11 fund. I wouldn't have wanted to be in Ken's position.
Never forget what happened on 9/11. For those of you who were too young or weren't even born yet, learn about what happened.
NEGATIVES…
Not necessarily the most visualizing exciting film, as it's mostly just talking heads here.
Lots of tough questions brought up that may not have been satisfactorily answered for some.
I don't think it could be helped, but the plot progression lends itself to be a little too familiar and predictable.
While understandable, the obvious time skips with the title cards, kinda derails the narrative a bit.
