Very moving film

Rating: 10/10 (21 May 2006)

This was a very honest film, no glitz, gleam, snazzy cheesy Hollywood crud. I respect and applaud Director Greengrass for letting the story tell itself. As has been mentioned, the cast of unknown actors was a brilliant move on Mr. Greengrass's part. It lent an air of authentic realism to the movie, which made the story genuine and real. You actually felt the uneasiness and tension, which I think was the whole point. I felt shocked and numb the day it happened, and I felt the exact same way after this movie. I can unequivocally say that this film is not Hollywood exploitation of a tragedy, there's no action heroes here, no Michael Moore-like conspiracy-theory, just the honest truth. A film that every American should see, lest we forget.
