Obviously made by a TV director

Rating: 3/10 (30 August 2006)

Still another in a long line of "noble" movies that people are afraid not to like. It used to be that all those awful old sword and sandal epics had to win awards. Now it's the docudramas that escape the TV screens for wide release. I suspected from the pulled-punches style that this just HAD to be made by a former TV director. Sure enough...check his credits! The action by the passengers is relatively bloodless, there is no shocking plane crash, and there is no aftermath of the carnage. You want to show horror? Show the horror, the massacre, don't try to be "tasteful." The names of the people who acted are known. Why not identify these heroes? The man who said "Let's go" was known to be on the phone or we wouldn't know he said it. Tell us who this honored hero was rather than make everyone anonymous.
Don't be afraid to admit this is lame.
