It's well made no doubt about that. Rather manipulative though, and not as impactful as it's made to be.

Rating: 7/10 (11 February 2010)

United 93 is a movie I had heard people rave about for years, due to it's shocking realism, and the impact it makes on you. Well it did make an impact on me, but I had many problems with this, when all was said and done. In my opinion, this seemed to be really exploitive, and an attempt for the film makers, to cash in on what happened at 911. Personally I think this is a tragedy that didn't need to be revisited, and should have been left alone respectively. The actors in this movie, look like just that, actors. I didn't sense any realness to them, and the movie didn't give me enough to care as much as I should have, when the movie was finished. I'm a Canadian, but I was deeply affected to what happened on 911, like a lot of people were, it's just this movie Doesn't do it any justice. The Arabiacs often complain about injustice, and the treatment directed towards them, that America gives them. Well it's there own fault, by doing what they have done, they have dug there own grave, ruining it for a lot of other innocent Arabiacs. United 93 left me feeling a little empty, and cold, after it was over. It was a well made movie, but not worthy of all the acclaim it has gotten.
Bottom line. United 93 is an effective, but over-hyped movie about the 911 events. It has many flaws, and as I said, left me feeling a little empty, when all was over. It's well worth a viewing, it will make an impact on you, but it wasn't the masterpiece people said it was.
7/10
