Sometimes the person who has to "do something" is you.

Rating: 10/10 (15 May 2006)

A legitimate tribute to common citizens, who, when faced with the realization that death may be imminent, chose to fight back and possibly save others while they are at it.
The characters are not known actors. Each person was asked to read a bio of their character so they might be able to do a better job of being them, not simply being a good actor. Some of the flight controllers and military people are the real people who did those jobs on 9/11. It dramatically increases the realism.
The movie is real time. The characters don't know anything more than they did at that time on 9/11. No patriotic speeches. No over the top action heroes. No ultimate evil villains. Real people. Muslim terrorists doing their deed, not cartoon characters. Scared people doing the best they can in a terrible situation.
You owe it to yourself to see this movie. It will make you ask yourself if you would have had the courage to act as these common citizens did. It will remind you that there are people perfectly willing to kill any American, man, woman or child. They don't care, they just want to kill us.
This movie puts real life into a situation you can understand.
