United 93... reviews

[jtk1519]

I think this film comes out Friday, but some early reviews are in and it is getting some incredible reviews. WFAA's Gary Cogill makes it sound like a religious experience...

Another review...

United 93 is a masterful motion picture. Its impact stays with the viewer; its images are hard to shake. In the years since 9/11, much of what happened that day has become ingrained in our culture. We have absorbed it. United 93 picks the scab and brings back the freshness of the wound. But the passage of time allows us to see the events of this film in a larger context. I do not use the phrase "must see" lightly (and there are those for whom this film may be too painful). Seeing United 93 represents a difficult film-going experience, and one that should not be undertaken lightly. It's hard to imagine anyone not being affected on some level by United 93. But the value of what this picture imparts is worth the challenge of sitting through it. When I compile my Top 10 list of films for 2006, United 93 will be on it, and almost certainly close to the top.

I didn't see the television movie that was made, but I think I want to see the theatrical release. I have heard that most of the families of the victims were for making the movie.

The director was not going to make the movie unless ALL the families wanted to do it... so obviously they all did. :cool:
