Greenglass Could Not Have Done it Any Better

Rating: 10/10 (22 June 2018)

This is a simple, powerful, and uncomfortably in-your-face docudrama about what it might have been like to be aboard United Airlines flight 93. The only one of the four hijacked jets to fail to hit its intended target, UA 93 crashed in a field in Shanksville PA because of the actions of a group of passengers and crew who attempted, unfortunately without success, to take back the plane from the hijackers.
Their heroism caused the plane to crash nose first into the ground. They sacrificed themselves because there was nothing else to be done.
I was chilled to the bone by this film. It is stark, uncompromising, and to its credit, it does not try to portray the hijackers as subhuman or the passengers as mere victims. Every member of the cast comes across as a complete and fully fleshed out human being.
Not for the squeamish, but it is of great historical importance.
