A film with many virtues. First - the inspired acting of Mojean Aria. Second - the precise construction of story. It seems a film for remind. Not only September 11, 2001 , but the traits of the life of a baggage handler, his dream, his side of Aladdin , the discover and the impact of news changing everything. Yes, it is far to be memorable but it is real well made for propose a powerful message about civic responsability, about truth and convictions. Short, just more than decent.

Something about how this was constructed really didn't work for me. I found it totally boring and unengaging. The story was predictable and also somehow pointless. The way the main character was belittled by his peers to such an extent felt unnatural and forced.

If you're going to exploit a tragedy for your "art" at least be mature enough to make something intelligent. This was just a below average short thriller trying to use a real life tragedy to get viewers.

Such a refreshing look at history through the lens of a seemingly random baggage handler... It uses a real life tragedy to explore topics like poverty, insubordination and the lengths gone by unsung heroes you will never hear anything about... Though It's likely not to go down well with Americans (for obvious reasons), you'd be foolish to pass on such a well produced, well written, acted and creatively directed/surprisingly realistic depiction of a growingly saturated genre. How well this was made cannot be understated.
