Not just lies, but boring lies

Accuracy aside, ABC's '9/11' deserves to bomb

Doug Elfman, Chicago Sun-Times:

This is what happens during 4 1/2 lonnnng hours of "Path." Terrorists talk about killing Americans for Allah. FBI and other security officials try to track them but fail. 9/11 happens.

You don't say.

This is the most anticlimactic, tension-free movie in the history of terrorist TV.

Controversy could boost viewership, except "Path" is the dullest, worst-shot TV movie since ABC's disastrous "Ten Commandments" remake. It substitutes shaky handheld cameras and dumb dialogue for craftsmanship. It could not be more amateurish or poorly constructed unless someone had forgotten to light the sets.

An appalling secondary concern is the tone makes almost every pre-9/11 American look like a fool.

At the Huffington Post, Max Blumenthal traces the project's history back to far right activist David Horowitz and Loren Cunningham, founder of the right-wing evangelical group Youth With A Mission and father of director David Cunningham.
