"With the use of Greengrass’ realistic filmmaking, this meticulous account of the events surrounding the crash of the United 93 plane on September 11, the only one to have missed one of its targets, is gripping and haunting. The film could have simply been controversial, but rather than being exploitation, it is a stylistic story not so much of heroism but of people that are forced to make extreme decisions in an extreme of situation. Admirable is the way in which Greengrass doesn’t give into making this an over patriotic film."
