This film can be summed up by thinking of Ebenezer Scrooge. The main character is a stuffy, bureaucratic style of guy and only focusses on facts and statistics.
SUDDENLY...
After as series of encounters with families of the victims of the 9-11 attacks, he mellows and suddenly starts treating all families with the milk of human kindness.
This film actually begs the question of whether or not this truly happened! If it did then it is baffling that one man could have had such power to compensate (or not) all of the families. If this is embellished then it is just completely weird to take a subject such as this and weave in a Christmas Carol style of humanity awakening!
Subjectively speaking though, as a film, it was OK and highlighted the polarisation of wealth in the USA.
