This film shows how passengers foiled the attempt of the terrorists.
What is special in this film?
We all know what happened on that unfortunate day. However, narrating an incident for which the viewers already know the outcome needs an exceptional talent. British director Paul Greengrass work in penning the screenplay in an interesting manner is exemplary. The director stuck to the factual data and did not try to glorify it for dramatic impact. This film does not take any sides and try to give neutral and balanced political views unlike Fahrenheit 9/11, which dug into how the Government reacted to it, and what was the immediate plan of action for the president.
Tailpiece:
This is film like a documentary made in feature film format by making the plot interesting. You end up getting some more perspective about what happened on 9/11 if you watch this film.
