Evoked the same tension and emotions as the actual event itself

Rating: 9/10 (24 December 2006)

Paul Greengrass has adequately captured the fear, the anxiety, the tension and emotions of that tragic day. I say, 'thoroughly' because I felt very involved, like I was living it with the victims. This movie was detailed enough to provide the average viewer all of the unknown information that was overshadowed by the barrage of media regarding the events that related to the World Trade Center Towers, not to minimize the heartbreak of that particular location. Paul Greengrass would have done a much better job than Oliver Stone, in telling the actual story regarding the Towers, because United 93 captures the true heartache and emotion of September 11, without exploiting the victims pain.
If one is looking for any heroism in these tragic event, Pual Greengrass has done the job tastefully, and sensitively in the telling of United 93. There is no doubt in my mind that he would have done just as well, if not better, in the sensitive retelling of the story about the Towers.
United 93 was so moving that one didn't take the time to analyze it, as one had the time to do with World Trade Center, since the World Trade Center moved slow enough to be scrutinized but United 93 doesn't pause long enough to give you a chance to scrutinize or judge the story, from a viewers perspective. Bravo Mr. Greengrass! A movie very tactfully done!
