Evocative, Emotional, Truthful, Powerful

Rating: 10/10 (27 June 2006)

"This film is dedicated to the passengers and crew of Flight 93, and to their families"
I have just finished watching the most powerful film I feel I have ever seen which can nearly be matched by Saving Private Ryan and Schindlers List. I felt split between even considering watching this terrifying portrayal and not, even though I'm British, I am an honorary American, I LOVE America and having been to your great country I saw first hand the overwhelming solidarity, I went to New York a few months back and stood in silence at Ground Zero trying desperately to comprehend what I saw. Flight 93 was a film that now I'm glad I saw, I didn't want to at first I felt that it would be exploitative, that it would just be another popcorn frenzy and much more than that I felt it was TOO SOON. Yesterday I saw the DVD in my local store and was unsure as to buy it or not. This was unlike anything I expected, no A List Hollywood Stars no Bruce Willis clones acting all macho, no funky music, this was how it should be, a documentary style setting unknown actors and most importantly people that played themselves, real family members. The tears were there and even now the events of that day is one of those things that we can't comprehend but this one film portrayed the will of the American People those on the ground and those in the air as honest to God Heroes.
GOD BLESS America
