A Truly Memorable Film that All Americans Need to See!

Rating: 9/10 (29 April 2006)

Paul Greengrass has taken the all-too-familiar events of 9/11 and has created an emotionally charged human drama that will virtually wring you out with emotion and yet not stoop to sensational melodramatics.
He made the decision to use unknown actors, many of whom were actual workers in their profession to tell a documentary-like, non judgmental story of how that fateful day went down. The amazing thing is how he is able to use these people to pull you into the story even though you know the eventual outcome. You truly feel as if you are on the plane yourself and watching through your own eyes and not the lens of a camera.
For those that feel that this film is being done too soon after 9/11, I hope you see it before you make up your mind on that. It is more of a cinematic memorial to those valiant passengers that will be an everlasting remembrance. It is a film that every American should see.
