Overrated

Rating: 7/10 (3 July 2007)

If this film had been released in 1999, it would have been much more interesting... Probably not very convincing though. Anyway, now the plot was kind of "predictable".
This was basically a dramatized documentary. It had a "made for TV" feel in it. Not many (any) great visual effects, not much action, not very much interesting dialog either. It gives us an illusion of the real-life events occurring as they did and cameras just following the action.
Speaking of dialog, in the real world the hijackers had SOME dialog with the passengers? Not very much in this film...
I can't really say I was disappointed. The film was everything I expected, in a good sense and in a bad sense. But definitely not one of my favourite movies, merely an average one. Of course the ending is touching, but you could not really expect anything but.
