This is not Oliver Stone "trying to make sense" of the tragedies of September 11th, 2001. This is Oliver Stone trying to make a buck (or more ) off of the tragedy. Yes we need artisits - photographers, filmmakers, actors and yes people need to-in their own way-make sense and deal with 9/11, but Nicholas Cage, in a cheesy moustache, being directed by conspiracy theorist Oliver Stone is far from theraputic.
If Mr. Stone was truly interested in "working through his pain" of the events of 9/11, he would not have created the tacky marketing ploy of 10% of the first day's proceeds going to the victims families... he would have donated all of the proceeds. That would be admirable. Anything less at this point in time is purely sickening, opportunistic greed.
