That was an excellent one.

Please don't spend money on this.

Dreadfully Boring

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Movie Review: "United 93" (2006)Director Paul Greengrass, who takes a particularly-researched, originally-written script on the 9/11-hijacked passenger airplanes after departing from the U.S. American East Coast airports in New York and Boston, using all his directorial powers, gained since a noteworthy "Bloody Sunday" (2002) and an high-end-visceral action-thriller "The Bourne Supremacy" (2004), to capture the continuous following events between 8:30 AM to 12:00PM on that terror-struck day of reckoning, when two of the four plans already crashed into the twin towers of the "World Trade Center" on the island of Manhattan in the State of New York, USA.The documentary-like appearing motion picture captured by cinematographer Barry Ackroyd, who mimics steadicam-techniques becoming hand-held shots in engaging confrontations between Middle Eastern looking hotel-room-prepared terrorists, who stab two passenger, one in the neck, the other into stomach to put the pool of estranged passenger, armed with their cell-phone to hyper-realistic moments of fear, despair and agony, calling their loved-ones in a certain death situation when the suspense levels already drop to an early occupied cockpit of a hostile takeover without any additional lighting transition dressed airplane interiors by never-seen-any-flight-training terrorists, who in retrospective, when I revisit the picture after twelve years after its first release, scare hardly any "war-on-terror" thriller-indulging audience.Nevertheless, 2007 Academy-Award-nominated director Paul Greengrass, whose Best-Director-nomination got favored over a political more relevant real-life terrorist theme against the story of a 10-year-old girl enduring nightmares in Spanish civil-war (1936-1939) scenarios-created by director Guillermo Del Toro, when "United 93" passenger initiative to fight against the hijacking terrorists, steering the airplane into descent, becomes improperly-build, dramatically late effort in an editorial of just exceeding the 100-Minute-marker, which should have been 85 Minutes, when up to three editors had been needed to assemble a majority of beat-subtracting close-up on close-up cut-aways.Yet this consequently realism-preaching motion picture to utmost-authenticity-playing no-star actors desired creative decisions by producing partners Eric Fellner and Tim Bevan at production company "Working Title", sharing a feeling of a by-stander perspectives in the Flight Control room before the naturally down-beating, discussions-engaging conclusion are history.© 2018 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)

United 93 takes us back to the dark hours of the September 11th attacks bringing back anger, sadness, and fear but with thought a sense of hope, I say this due to United 93 showing us the events within the hijacked aircraft. Call sign United 93 with us already knowing the outcome of the first three hijacked planes this is the story of the forth, as the tagline reads Director Paul Greengrass was able to write and direct a movie that needed no explanation. But did require him to show us what by the end of the movie I had realised, was just how evil and inhumane members of humanity can be but still giving us the positive aspect. Being that when faced with destruction those with courage became the embodiment of the definition of humanity, defending others despite realising the eventuality of their lives being lost to protect and defend others. The darkest aspects of humanity were shown on that day but also the valiant aspects had emerged to, this is what I had taken away from United 93 this is what we can all realise after 1 hour and 51 minutes. Not the quality of the movie that was made, but the message that is being displayed, historical events depicting in film are like finding a four-leafed clover so finding the message within the movie is the objective set for the viewer.

Dramatisations of real-life events often fail because filmmakers somehow feel compelled to embellish the story and to add unnecessary characters, cinematic clichés or simply more context than needed. And in the process they tend to lose sight of what made the material worthy of bringing to the screen in the first place.This is not the case here. Paul Greengrass's films always have cinematic scope, they never feel like cheap, made-for-TV pieces, yet he has a real knack for that stripped-down, documentary feel that really makes a movie like this work. He has proved it many times with excellent films like Bloody Sunday or Captain Phillips, and the same goes for United 93, as well. The beginning of the movie is truly amazing. Greengrass uses similar techniques here as in Captain Phillips (reminiscent of what Spielberg did in the opening scenes of Munich), building almost unbearable tension with simply presenting the flow of everyday life, people preparing for their journey at the airport. It's all in the sounds and the effective editing. No dialogue here, no 'movie drama', only the suffocating atmosphere, the sense of a tragedy coming.United 93 never loses focus, and never wants to aggravate things. And by simply telling the gut-wrenching, tragic story life wrote, it truly honours the brave heroes and the memory of the victims.

The terrorists prepare themselves and on September 11, 2001, they board United Airlines Flight 93 departing from Newark to San Francisco. As they prepare to take off, planes are being hijacked. Chaos break out in air traffic control. Once in the air, the first plane crashes into the World Trade Center. Four hijackers take over United 93 as confusion spreads. The passengers calling from the plane surmise the hijackers' plan and try to retake the aircraft.I saw it in a theater back in the day. Honestly, I couldn't stop shaking as I left. I had to take a few seconds before I start the car. It's almost ten years since then. 9/11 grows further into the distant past. Watching it again, I thought some of its power may have dissipated. I got a little blasé about it initially and then the terrorists break into the cockpit. The intensity comes flooding back. I'm shaking once again. I think the growing distance from the actual event has diminished the anxiety but it may always be there. Director Paul Greengrass is able to bring all of it out onto the surface.
