UNITED 93

September 11, 2001. Four planes were hijacked (by Muslim extremists). Three of them reached their target (killing thousand of innocent people). This is the story of the fourth (they were the first to fight back).

Everyone should see this movie as soon as possible. How soon we all forget what really happened on that dark day in September. UNITED 93 is a real-time account of the courage shown by the passengers on United Airlines Flight 93. It is not a human-interest story and he does not try to build characters or even a plot. What it does do is allow us to relive the emotion and fear that came from watching the towers fall – from this fear we regain a sense of hope and courage to know that people, in the face of death, were willing to stand up against evil even at the risk of their own lives. I asked myself the same question over and over again after leaving the theater … “What would you do?” I ask the same question of you, “What would you do?” I can only pray that I would be strong enough to stand up and fight.

In separate post below, you will find an article from The National Review Online that deals with the politics surrounding UNITED 93. No matter whatever side of the political spectrum you fall … please see this movie so you can be reminded of the evil that lives in this world and the good that can overcome.

SCORE: 9/10 Planets
