Reviews
Splinter
A remarkable film that I didn't want to watch but felt compelled to and felt numb at the very end. Stunningly stark in its portrayal of the events of that day, Paul Greengrass produced a film that one can never forget.
The Movie Mob
**United 93 is not an easy film to watch, but it honors the unprecedented circumstances of United 93 on September 11.** United 93 is the sobering story of the bravery of the hostages that fought to retake United 93 on September 11, 2001. Paul Greengrass masterfully captured the chaos and panic of September 11 as the military, government, FAA, and airlines all scrambled to respond to the terrorist crisis. The movie takes a few minutes before the frenzy is unleashed, but once it does, the tension and heart-pounding don’t stop until the credits roll. This film is not a feel-good or heartwarming movie because it perfectly depicts the terror the passenger experienced and the power of their courage in such extraordinary circumstances. It’s significant to see, understand, and experience that day through the perspectives of so many trying to protect the lives of those in danger.
