Review of United 93 (2006) by Anna C — 13 Sep 2010

Never in my life has a film made such an emotional impression on me as did United 93. Recalling that faithful day of September 11, 2001; where a team of 19 highjackers highjacked four plans, and carried out the most deadly terrorist attack on U.

S soil. These attacks were deemed the worst since Pearl Harbor. This film recalls the flight of United Airlines Flight 93. What follows is an uprising of passengers who valiantly try to retake the plane from those crazed fanatics.

Greengrass's film is one of the hardest, most difficult films that I have ever watched. This for me, is the type of film that you only watch once, and you don't need to watch it again. The film is very disturbing because it's very real, and it happened so recently.

I saw this film back in 2006, when it was released. I knew right from the start that I was in for something disturbing. Also United 93 shows the courage of common people who faced impossible odds of survival.

But despite their failed attempt, their courage probably saved more lives. United 93 is a very emotional film to watch, and I can guarantee you that you may cry watching this. This film is gripping and powerful.

A film that is brilliantly filmed, acted and executed; I strongly believe that this is a respectful film that honors the victims of this terrible tragedy in a senseless act of violence. I highly recommend this film.

United 93 is a definite must see and this film will definitely stay with you for a long time after you've seen it. A very powerful, gripping and poignant film, United 93 is a film that shows courage in the face of danger.
