Realistic, uplifting and honorable

Rating: 10/10 (16 March 2008)

Everybody remembers what they did on that dreadful day on September the 11th, 2001. People woke up to go to work, teachers and students woke up to go to school; robbery, murder, lynchings and any other things both good and bad until four planes were hijacked and heading for four targets: The Pentagon, The Twin Towers and The White House. Three of the four hijacked planes reached their target destinations (Twin Towers in New York and the Pentagon in Washington D.C.) in which everybody talks more about the Twin Towers as if they were history majors and forget about the rest.
This movie tells about flight United 93 that didn't reach it's destination thanks to a group of people who stopped the terrorists before reaching their doom.
"United 93" doesn't have any big top actors like Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise, Samuel L. Jackson or anybody we read in the magazines to influence in watching movies. The actors here look exactly like ordinary people we wouldn't even bother checking their acting credits; everybody plays the real life heroes in this movie.
Paul Greengrass (The Bourne series) directs this movie where it's so realistic, it makes us feel as if we were there. The editing is realistic where it feels like an episode of "24" with different cameras showing points of view from the passengers in the doom flight to the traffic control towers to the military.
This is the kind of film where you don't have to have an opinion (or express that you could've been there to be a hero) but to shut up and just honor those who at least did something with their lives.
