United 93: 8 out of 10.

Wow. For 111 minutes you don't feel like you're watching a movie, but a documentary. The acting by unrecognizable actors is so natural you feel you're there on September 11 as United 93 prepares to take off.

Even though we all know how this movie ends, it's so effectively pieced together you can't help but feel the affect of this tragedy we all know too well. Even though I remember that day like it was yesterday, we're all fairly desensitized from seeing that plane crash into the WTC over and over again. "United 93" humanizes the loss without being preachy, overtly patriotic or overly dramatic.
