United 93 (2006)

Synopsis: On September 11, 2001, one of the hijacked planes didn't reach the target, because its passengers tried to regain control of the ship.
Appraisal: The interest for this episode in dramatic form is understandable; the actual experience of watching it, however, is not as compelling as one might imagine at first. There is little complexity here, and the succession of events is fairly predictable. That being said, it is still far from dull, and it competently shows the complete inefficacy at this instance of the American defense. I don't think the film was that well directed; I found it hard to visualize what was going on at certain parts; it either was too fast, or seemed improperly edited, or shaky, or something of the sort.
