Outstanding!

Rating: 10/10 (1 May 2006)

This is an outstanding movie, certainly one of the very best I have ever seen! Although we know the eventual outcome, the movie is an edge-of-your-seat nail-biting thriller. The important message is that this is not simply a tale of sacrifice. Enough time had elapsed that the passengers were able to learn what was in store for them if they did not act. Those Americans processed the information they had available to them, formulated a plan, and carried it out with amazing courage and bravery. The intention of the passengers and crew was to take back the plane and to save their lives. That they were not ultimately successful in this endeavor makes the act no less courageous or admirable. What amazing people, those "Ordinary" Americans!
