A very tense film. Even though I knew the ending, I hoped the passengers would pull it off somehow. The director used cell phone conversations and cockpit tapes to recreate much of the action. Hand-held cameras and an unknown cast gave the film a riviting documentary feel.
I didn't leave humming the music, but I did gain an added appreciation for ordinary people who rose to perform extraordinary deeds aboard United Flight 93 on Sept. 11, 2001.

Agreed. A great film.
Director Greenglass used the same techniques in "Bloody Sunday."
When the screen went to black, I sagged from two hours of tension-hunched shoulders.
