ogtorrez Most of the characters were spot on. However, i don't know what footage Tim Bottoms used when he researched his Character. He had none of the inflections or mannerism of GW Bush. The way a person carries themselves is very telling of who that person is and I did not believe he was W. Bush. I liked the Condi character. i thought it was really her. The story line was about what you would expect for a movie to be heroic instead of being truthful. There seemed to be an opinion in the movie and that is not the purpose of good film. For true film lovers this falls flat. Of course, the story is powerful and we all know what happens. It was a sad day for the world and we can only hope that it will never happen again.

gtipton_pcpro For the record, Bush was with the Florida school children for 7 minutes, not the 20 minutes that people have claimed. As far as the Democrats, they hid in the Senate meeting room for 40 minutes, so the Democrats have a double standard, as usual.As far as the movie DC 9/11: A Time of Crisis goes, it is a fairly accurate portrayal of President Bush's response to the 9/11 attacks, and not politically-motivated left-wing propaganda that is usually found in Hollywood.Timothy Bottom's portrayal of President George W. Bush was first-rate and deserved an Oscar for Best Actor, but sadly there is political bias as far as who gets awards in Hollywood and who doesn't.

LARSONRD Reading the other reviews of this film are telling - and I think the posting by dromasca told it all - most viewers are unable to shed their political leanings concerning films like this, and most reviews (positive and negative) seem to be borne from one's personal leanings in that regard. It would be interested to note if this film had been released before the end of 2001, would it have garnered more positive reviews? But now in the wake of FAHRENHEIT 9/11 (and by the way if you have seen that film you owe it to yourself to also see FAHREN-HYPE 9/11 just to get a balanced report - before making up your mind), this film seems to add more fuel to the Bushfires. I found it to be a compelling Showtime TV movie, focusing on the perspective of President George W. Bush in the week following the Sept 11th attacks on the USA. While the focus and timing (released on DVD just in time for the 2004 presidential election; although the film itself debuted on TV on Sep 7 2003) may suggest propaganda (and there may be just a bit of heavy handed pro-Bush emphasis; but then, the film is told from his perspective); however the film is excellently put together and was written by respected historical writer Lionel Chetwynd (who wrote the terrific IKE: COUNTDOWN TO D-DAY, and who reportedly had unprecedented access to the key White House personnel, including GW, to ensure the comprehensiveness and relative accuracy of his script). As a result, the film seems reasonably credible. It's fascinating to discover some of the innerworkings of our government on that dark day, and to depict the human side of GW, even while resurrecting strong emotions over the events of that day – events which many Americans seem to have forgotten in their rush to criticize foreign policy… Timothy Bottoms is outstanding in his portrayal of GW, resembling him as he does physically (ironically, he played GW on TV's irreverent THERE'S MY BUSH) many of the other cast members bear a striking resemblance to the people they play also (Ashcroft, Rice, Rumsfeld, Cheney).

wenfig Was it supposed to be a comedy? The melodrama is reminiscent of the original Star Trek series, but not as believable. This pathetic work of fiction is an attempt to manipulate the uneducated and unmotivated American.I love my country, but American politics is a filthy game. I tried to watch the whole movie, but my the time I got halfway through it, I really couldn't put up with the continued assault on my intelligence. I must force myself to sit through the last half, though I'm sure it is no more factual than the first half.Farenheit 9/11, by Michael Moore is biased, but verifiable. DC 9/11: Time of Crisis, is a fallacious farce. Some of us are ready for the truth. Is it out there?
