A flawed, but gripping well-crafted piece of drama...

United 93 might be an insular response to a global tragedy, but -- taken on its own, limited terms -- it is powerful and sincere, giving reign to pity and fear without indulging jingoism or sentimentality. For that at least it deserves applause.

This is not a film you go to for enjoyment, but because you have a duty to endure it.

It's a difficult and upsetting experience but a worthwhile one, which will linger in your mind long after the film ends.

Greengrass takes pains to keep events believable and relatively unrhetorical, rejecting entertainment for the sake of sober reflection, though one has to ask how edifying this is apart from its reduction of the standard myths.

This limitation in source material has had a peculiar effect on the script. Never is there a moment of repulsive sentimentality or exploitation, but neither is Greengrass able to realize an ultimate purpose.

Above all, one truth remains: the sacrifice of the 40 passengers on Flight 93 is truly remarkable. The film portrays their courage in the face of staggering odds in its own subjective and respectful way. It achieves what it wants as a film.

... this is a picture we all must see.

a real-time reconstruction of events on the doomed flight that manages to encapsulate all the anxieties and sorrows of our age.

Even the undeniable heroism of the passengers on United 93 doesn't edify as it should.
