Overview:
The first major film to be released about the events of 9/11 is no hackneyed disaster movie, as some may have feared, but a fittingly sober and dignified affair. For this retelling of the events aboard the only hijacked plane that didn't reach its intended target that day, writer/director Paul Greengrass adopts a dialogue-light, almost documentary approach. The sense of reality is heightened by the casting of relative unknowns and the use of varying perspectives from air-traffic control, the military, the plane's passengers and the terrorist hijackers themselves. Blending known facts with educated guesswork - and with no bias or axe to grind - Greengrass crafts a credible and moving film about ordinary folk forced into one extraordinary act of courage. It's a matter of recorded history that the passengers' attempt to overwhelm the hijackers ended with the plane crashing into a field in Pennsylvania. But it's a tribute to the film that, despite that foreknowledge, you're still gripped and moved by the experience.
