DVD Review: "United 93" (2006)

This is a film that every thinking person should see. It doesn't cut corners, accurately portraying the Islamic fundamentalist terrorists as pure evil. "United 93" also demonstrates the agony of impending death, knowing you are about to leave this world for another, more uncertain one, or depending on your faith, perhaps none at all.

There are no big-name stars here to distract from the story, the camera work unstable, the editing quick. Be sure also to catch the feature on the families for a glimpse into how they were involved in the making of this film, reminding us that no matter who we are or where we come from, we are all worthy targets in the eyes of al-Qaeda by virtue of the fact that we live in a liberal, democratic, capitalist society.

A timely reminder of just what it is that we're fighting for.

Overall rating: 9/10
