A fitting tribute to lives lost

Rating: 9/10 (19 September 2006)

A good movie, not only for its entertainment value but also because of its message. We still don't know exactly everything that happened on that fateful day and we may never know, but this movie accurately portrays what we know so far in respect of this particular flight. The director did an excellent job, showing the determination and the human weakness common to us all in both the passengers and the hijackers. The relationships were accurately portrayed and tension was realistically created right to the end. Some scenes were a little drawn out in places but the overall effect was an excellent movie with a message for us all. The cast did an excellent job in accurately portraying the tensions that must have been felt by all on that plane. All in all, an excellent piece of cinematic achievement that forms part of history lesson for the future, to commemorate all who died on that fateful day.
