Tricky business reviewing United 93. It would seem churlish to find fault. Luckily there is no need..
Which in itself is surprising. Here is a tale of  well very little actually. Very little in that the number of events is small. This of course is at odds with the magnitude of these events.
And we know the ending, even though I found myself engrossed by the "tension" of the final cockpit skirmish.. In this respect it had a lot in common with Touching The Void.
