Told in a very documentary-style approach, United 93 hits home in the realistic and unflinching way it portrays the tragedy of 9/11. Certainly a lot of the power of the film is devised from the inherent familiarity of the tragedy, but Paul Greengrass also finds a way to highlight the tiny moments of humanity amid tragedy. |

What can you say? It is a tense, emotional experience reliving the emotions of this day and listening to the phone calls made to family. At first I felt it was too soon. But the Bonus Features contained interviews with the family who found the film cathartic and felt it was time to document what happened, lest we forget. |

The first film to recount events that took place during the September 11 terrorist attacks deals with the only aircraft that failed to reach its intended target.
United 93 is a powerful, honest and sometimes deeply disturbing picture that tells its tale without resorting to Hollywood schmaltz.
With an ending we all know, this film still manages to be engrossing, mesmerizing and incredibly tense.
A superbly directed movie, hard to watch yet ultimately a fitting tribute to the many innocent people who died on September 11th 2001. |

"United 93" by Yojimbo |

United 93 is a thankfully unsentimental recreation of what happened on the only hijacked passenger airliner that did not reach its target on the day that changed the world. Paul "Bourne" Greengrass brings a very documentary like approach to the story, making it feel very much like a reconstruction rather than a drama. It has exactly the same mix of the everyday and the utterly surreal that that fateful day had for me, and the footage of the World Trade Centre gave me the same hollow, empty and slightly nauseous feeling I had at the time. There are no Hollywood style "heroes" or irrelevant soap opera bullshit concerning the passengers; it merely provides an accurate (as far as the known facts fit) depiction of what happened on the plane as the passengers realized what was happening and ste... |

We all know what happened that Tuesday morning now forever known as 9/11, and this movie tries to depict the events of that morning from the viewpoint of those on the ground working on that day.
When I first saw the commercials for this movie before its release, I suspected that this was going to be speculative on what happened on the plane with what is known from those on the plane who called families as the events were unfolding and the cockpit tapes. However, this movie mainly focuses on military and FAA responses as the hijackings and attacks happen.
The other planes which were taken over by hijackers are just referenced in this movie and a barely touched. We do see the results of the two planes which struck the towers of the World Trade Center in New York City through actual ... |
