The film is a dignified salute to the brave souls aboard the fourth hijacked plane on 9/11.

Paul Greengrass’s United 93 is beyond devastating.
His film about the events of Sept. 11, 2001, is all the more numbing because it is handled with such dignity and efficiency.
It looks at the plight of the individuals on the fourth hijacked plane and at the response in control centres on the ground.
There are no histrionics, no emotion-packed flashbacks or cuts to the homes of the passengers.
Once the 40 people strap themselves into United Airlines flight 93, the film plays in real time, detailing what most likely happened in those 91 minutes.
Read the rest.
“Whatever monument is eventually built at Ground Zero or anywhere else, United 93 is as fitting and worthy a memorial to the victims and heroes of September 11 as one could hope for.”
