I watched the trailer some 20 days back and I so very knew it that I am gonna watch it as soon as its released. Very well directed, crisp in presentation with no unwanted details. The fact that iys based on a true story makes it more captivating.
I recommend watching it in IMAX, because the effect of height can be beat felt if u are in IMAX. The most breath taking scene waa when Philip lies down on the rope hung between the erstwhile World Trade Centres. The views are jaw dropping and imagining that simeone did that in reality gives you goosebumps.
The only thing I think that could have been avoided was Philip appearing again and again on top of fge statue of liberty and narrating things. That could have been handled from behind the screen also.
