Review of United 93 (2006) by B C — 10 Aug 2017

(4 out of 4 stars) United 93 is one of the most intense films that I've ever seen. Paul Greengrass has a talent for displaying tense moments on screen that can draw you into what's going on. When many directors handle "shaky cam" to display the intensity on screen, they are not able to pull it off for various reasons, but Greengrass is the master of handling that technique when it's used in various scenes.

In this film, he not only does what he typically does best, but he also has made a film that stupendously honors the lives of the people that were on the flight. Making a film about this situation (especially during the time it was released) can be risky, but thankfully, it pulls off the unsettling content to show a true story about heroes standing up to stop pure evil.

I don't think this could've been handled better than it was.
