Review of United 93 (2006) by Patc. — 15 Oct 2006
No character development, and key elements of plot development for a well-told story are also lacking. But it's not a documentary either. It's more like a scene from a play where the viewer provides what came before and after.
But it must rate well from an emotional viewpoint. It puts us dead center in the eye of the storm where we have no idea what is happening or will happen next. And for that, though the film proceeds more & more into conjecture, is probably as close to the truth as we are likely to see captured on film.
It honors the dead by totally refraining from the melodramatic elements of their situations, so the movie is more about them than what the film makers would like us to feel about them.
