We all remember the tragic events of September 11th, 2001. When most people think of 9/11, they think of the world trade centers. Director Paul Greengrass set out to add more to your memory, by making United 93. He's not telling a political story, he's retelling the event of brave passengers, that some people might not grasp.

For those of you who do not know about the hijackings on 9/11, United 93 was the last plane that was going to be used as a weapon by hijackers. The Capitol Building was the believed target. The brave passangers and flight attendants realized that the hijackers were going to crash the plane, and decided to try to take the plane back from the terrorists.

United 93 stars an unknown cast of actors, some of which were actually involved in September 11th and have never acted before. By using a unknown cast, Paul Greengrass really added to the reality. You actualy felt like you were there, in alot of parts in the movie. This is one of the saddest movie I have ever seen. At the end of the screening the theatre was silent, besides people quietly weeping. So if you can't handle sad movies, then this might not be the movie for you.

I wouldn't see United 93 again, because it is just too intense, but United 93 is an experience that can't be missed.

Final Score: 5/5 stars
