Powerful

Rating: 10/10 (1 May 2006)

Roger Ebert said in his review that this "is not a film that knows any time has passed since (Sept. 11)." That gives the movie more gravity because it doesn't know what will happen next, and makes the situation that much more immediate.
"Powerful" is a good way to describe this movie. There are a lot of emotions involved, and little character development, but we don't need to know the backgrounds of the people on the plane. They found themselves in a horrible situation and did their best to find a way through it.
The camera work adds to the realism of the movie, but can be distracting at times.
For those who say it is too soon, that may be just the reason this movie is needed - so we don't forget. If/Since the networks don't want to show Sept. 11 anymore, someone else has to step up and make us remember. Director Paul Greengrass and the cast of this movie do that.
