After seeing the ratings on IMDb I had big expectations for this movie. The movie starts abruptly. There is no set up for the main story of rescue by private citizens. There is no sense of large numbers of private citizens being involved. There is no real emotion developed throughout the story. I never really cared about any of the characters. I simply missed whatever it is that most people felt made this an 8.7. I have seen news reels that were better done. It is the only time in all my years that I felt I could have created a better story and done a better job of directing than those actually involved.
