How are they going to present the shift from paralyzing fear to determination to take action? How far are they willing to go to show two groups of people, one group determined to die to complete their mission, and another group reconciled to death to stop them? And finally, how will it end? What's the most respectful way to end a movie about people that we know died horribly? It's this presentation which will determine whether or not I fall into the same line of thinking as Paul. To be perfectly honest, I have no emotional reaction to the fact that this movie is being released at all. When it finally comes out, I'll probably start forming an opinion about it, but I think that the movie could swing either way. If presented correctly, this movie could be a rather beautiful memorial about ordinary people who were forced to choose between two horrible destinies.

From what I understand from tv and radio reviews, they deliberately chose relatively unknown actors in order to give as much the sense of "ordinary people doing something extraordinary" as they could.
As for the other questions you ask here, these are the very reasons I would like to see the movie too, I think.
