Welles Crowther saves at least 10 people in the World Trade Center during the attacks on 9/11 at the cost of his own life.

Nick Schager

Variety

Despite its frustratingly crude formal construction proves an equally sorrowful and stirring portrait of selflessness in the face of tragedy.

The short-subject treatment serves as a challenge that, in eighty minutes, writer-director Matthew Weiss doesn't meet.

Common Sense Media

Though Matthew J. Weiss' documentary looks and sounds pretty low-budget, is simplistic in structure, and struggles to fill out its 76 minutes, it's blessed with an amazingly powerful, moving story.

Rated: 3/5

The ending dragged on a bit but otherwise a very powerful tribute to an unsung hero of 9/11 who reminded us all that one person CAN make a difference.
