I went this weekend to see United 93, and I must say that it was a very well made movie. I urge everyone to go see it, not only for the message, but also to see how a really good movie is made. No over-the-top graphics, no CG monsters, no gratuitous violence or sex. A story told well and simply. The acting was top notch, especially seeing as how the movie really "starred" no one. You may recognize a few of the actors, but none really jump out at you. A look at IMDB.com turns up resumes which include a lot of "Law & Order" type appearances, and, frequently, not even a publicity photo. Paul Greengrass wrote and directed a hell of a movie. One that does not try and entertain you with fight scenes, or attempt to pluck up your spirit or patriotism with corny lines and speeches. Rather what Mr Greengrass has done is attempt to portray what he believed events were actually like on that horrendous day, and what average, ordinary people would have felt and done when thrown into a chaotic situation such as this. I believe that he achieved this admirably and the movie is a fitting homage to the heroic actions of a few everyday people tossed into a nightmare situation.
