In Memory of Those Who Lost Their Lives on September 11, 2001...

Rating: Null/10 (5 October 2013)

Almost everyone has an idea of how this film is gonna end but what director Paul Greengrass has done in between the opening & closing credits here is what makes United 93 a truly devastating & unforgettable cinematic experience. Featuring an unknown cast of actors to make the drama more plausible & to provide it with a documentary feel, the film is crafted with great eye for detail & recounts the horror event that shook the entire world with unflinching accuracy.
United 93 is the story about the 4th hijacked plane on the doomed September 11 morning which was the only flight that failed to reach its intended target. After collecting detailed accounts from the victims' families, the cast & crew here try to recreate the entire event when passengers on-board this jinxed airplane put up a fight for not only their lives but for thousands of others who wouldn't be alive today if the hijackers had managed to make it to their target.
On an overall scale, Paul Greengrass' United 93 can be argued for trying to cash in on a sensitive subject matter that's still fresh in the minds of people who lived to witness that tragic day but what's absolutely heartwarming to see here is that Greengrass has treated its delicate content with utmost respect and the whole film is an unflinching, gut-wrenching, emotionally traumatic & moving cinema dedicated in memory of everyone who lost their lives on September 11, 2001. Thoroughly recommended.
