WORTH
(2 BIG SPUDS) (ON netflix)

 

There have been quite a few movies made about
91/11, This one looks at it from the point of view
of the people who had to calculate the amount
of compensation that the victims’ families would
receive

This film stars Michael Keaton and Stanley
Tucci, and while it is a grim reminder of this very
tragic event, it is extremely compelling to watch
as a movie

I can’t imagine being in the position that
Michael Keaton's character puts himself in
simply because he wanted to help. People come
at him from all sides and you can really learn a
lot about both greed and compassion in America
from watching this process unfold

I was a little skeptical going into this, because
I thought it would be a real downer. And | guess
in many ways it could be seen that way.

But at the same time, it's a very intelligent look
at one of the key things that went on after the
9/11 tragedy.

It's as much a historical document as itis a very
good dramatic film
