I won't mark this has having spoilers, although I may use some in the review. I don't really believe that a spoiler warning is necessary for debunked crap like this.
Dylan Avery is once again trying to ply everyone with his theories of 9/11, along with the Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth. This time, though, instead of throwing out theories of their own, they've enlisted the help of four very damaged people to do it. Family members of 9/11 victims are being USED to convince the audience of the "Truth." It's truly disgusting.
These theories, especially the idea that the World Trade Center was wired to be brought down -- two 110-story buildings plus WTC 7, mind you -- in a controlled demolition, have been debunked so many times in the last two decades that they should be looked at as jokes at this point. But no, not for Mr. Avery and the Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth. There is still, somewhere in our government; in the deepest, darkest reaches of Washington, the Truth about what REALLY happened. How long will these people continue to try to pass this nonsense off as a concrete explanation for what REALLY happened on 9/11?
I subscribe to Occam's Razor, that the simplest explanation is probably the truth. The simple explanation is that terrorists hijacked four airliners, flew two of them into the WTC and one more into the Pentagon, and the last into a field in Pennsylvania. Almost 3,000 people were killed because of it, and it got us into an unjust war in Iraq, which had nothing to do with 9/11, and then a forever war in Afghanistan, that killed more people because of 9/11. Osama bin Laden, who was I assume, the target, was killed in late April of 2011, which is when we should have started leaving Afghanistan. THAT'S what happened.
People may have doubts about that story because it's a very hard pill to swallow but swallow it we must so that we can at last move on. We must never forget 9/11, but this "documentary" or Avery's previous "Loose Change" documentary is no way to remember it. It only prolongs the pain and anguish of people who lost loved ones. I am sorry for the people in the film that lost family members and friends, but they are at least in touch with other people in their lives who try to keep them balanced, which is good. Avery & Co. Feed off of them like vampires to make more unfounded accusations.
I gave this three stars due to the cinematography, which for an Avery film, was pretty good. Also, the editing was top notch, and thank God Avery didn't do ANY narration. Beyond that, I find nothing of value here. It seems as though Dylan Avery and the Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth will continue to haunt America with their grotesque displays of supposed "Truth." Pity.
Plot summary
One lost his son, another his mother, another his brother, another his best friend. Twenty years later, these four men and their families live with the knowledge that they were not told the truth about the murder of their loved ones on September 11, 2001. In the face of overwhelming resistance, they continue to fight for the justice they deserve. The Unspeakable is the story of their pain, their courage, and, above all else, their devotion to those who were taken from them on 9/11.

Will this ever end?
Quietly powerful, possibly the most humane 9/11 doc ever made
Anyone who has done research into 9/11 knows the facts. If you don't, check out David Ray Griffin or Paul Thompson's work. Or a number of other legitimate homemade docs on YouTube with enough undeniability to make any thinking person pause.
The Unspeakable, however, which borrows its title from James Douglass, another famous debunker, doesn't go down the usual rabbit holes, replaying the same footage, or espousing theories that might seem very wild to those who know little about 9/11. Hard to believe, yes, but ask someone under the age of 18 - such people exist. And not many older people are even curious. This is partly why 9/11 is so glossed over, in general, and it's where many of the lesser, more sensational, docs fail by limiting their audience to the people who can spout page numbers in the Commission Report to you.
Instead, Unspeakable -- which is shot and edited on a par with any A grade theatrical doc -- takes the unorthodox route and focuses primarily on the many brave families of the victims interviewed here and their very touching, genuinely real quests for truth and justice.
Once their unadorned testimonies are heard, the alternate theories to what was reported on that horrible day are introduced with just enough grace to make you want to know more. It doesn't force feed you or hand-hold you. It does what the really powerful, really good documentaries do... it shows you real life, and real death, and then leaves the next steps up to you.
It's impossible to overstate how well made this film is. It will move you, no matter what you know or what you don't.
