The director did not respond to the root cause of terror, but condemned terrorism in a stereotyped manner, and made deep concerns about the security of American society at that time. The funny thing is that a few years later, the "911" incident that shocked the whole world happened in New York. It's ironic! There is also a translation of the film called "Total Siege".
