United 93

The Hollywood Reporter has a review of United 93 -- the film opening later this month about the passengers and crew who fought to take control of their hijacked plane on 9/11.

Reviewer Kirk Honeycutt says "[Paul] Greengrass has made not only a thoroughly fact-checked film but a film that uncontrovertibly comes from the heart."
Bottom line: Unflinching account of the terror aboard the fourth hijacked plane on Sept. 11 provokes deep, disturbing
emotions.

The review details how civilian air controllers were cast to play themselves -- recreating much of what they went through as Flight 93 flew toward its target. (Hollywood Reporter)
