As if you were there...

Rating: 9/10 (27 January 2012)

This film is based on the actual events that took place on that harrowing day of September 11, 2001. The film begins in a hotel room, where the 4 proposed terrorists are ready for what would be their mission before God. This film works very fast, as if you were actually there, on the plane, just going about your business and ready to reach your destination. When the eventual moments of terror and agony begin, not only can you feel everyone's pain, suffering, fear and desperation, you feel the same. Paul Greengrass is one of today's best directors at all of this. The fact that the families of those who perished had a lot of input into the film really helped and made it as real as possible. Afterwards, you walk out with really nothing to say.
