Review: United 93
Paul Greengrass takes on a daring project, and finishes it off in a matter-of-fact-ly manner. It plays out pretty much as a live action chronicled documentary, while of course you’ll have to keep in mind some bits of the plane scenes are subject to conjecture. Controversy aside, I think he won’t bump heads with anyone, as it’s mostly documented events with the least bit of bias involved.
This is the first time in my life I’m seeing a movie based on true events which happened in my lifetime, and it didn’t provide me with any new information. Emotional resonance comes from the fact it’s only been 5 years ago, and no real resolve has come to pass. It’s for sure this movie isn’t for anyeone, know what you’re getting yourself into.7+.
