What would you have done

Rating: 9/10 (9 June 2006)

I'm sure most people at least considered what they would have done had they have been on one of the planes on 9/11. This was especially the case with Flight 93, since due to a flight delay, they were aware of what their fate was going to be. Unlike the traditional MO of hijackers they weren't about to enter into negotiations. They were being used as a bomb to cause destruction on the ground.
I seem to remember at the time that the actions of the passengers on Flight 93 was considered as a selfless act to stop the destruction on the ground. The film portrays this very much as an attempt for survival and I suspect this is probably very close to what really happened. If you've got a 1 in thousand chance of surviving by storming the cockpit it's better than a certain death if you do nothing.
The film is tense and gripping and really tugs at the emotions. Surely one of the best films of this year, but be prepared for a depressing experience. If you like feel good movies steer well clear of this.
