you must see this film

Rating: Null/10 (16 May 2006)

This movie is perhaps the best non-fiction film I have ever seen. Even though you know what is going to happen and the fate of the people on the plane, the suspense keeps up and keeps you on the edge of your seat. Every moment of this movie was well-crafted and perfectly done. From the opening sequence featuring the terrorists praying through the messages at the end of the film, the filmmakers knew what they were doing and the film was flawlessly executed.
Even though you didn't learn more about the characters, that doesn't matter. The emphasis here is on the action on the plane and the events of 9/11. It was obviously well-researched as the passengers' phone calls and counterattacks on the terrorists were portrayed with perfection. The scenes where they planned their strategies, pounced on the terrorists, rushed the cockpit, and let their loved ones know about their actions were the highlights of them film. Anyone affected by 9/11 and Todd Beamer's words "Let's roll" will be captivated by the sequences of action and conversations. (planning and otherwise) *** 1/2 out of ****
