"United 93" ***1/2 (out of four): Writer-director Paul Greengrass' reenactment of the events on board United Airlines flight 93 is a somber, at times moving, first foray into 9/11 films.

Watching “United 93” on opening night in New York City was a singular experience. There had been a lot of controversy around whether it’s too soon to release a “9/11 movie”. Judging by the dullards in the theater still fiddling with their cell phones well into the opening credits, I think America’s ready for a reminder.
However, “United 93” - Paul Greengrass’ telling of the hijacked aircraft which crashed into a field in Pennsylvania - is not a “9/11 movie”. September 11th was about a lot more than flight 93. It was about the politics and ideologies of nations so opposed that their only resource was (and is) war. “United 93”, though, doesn’t tell that story. Nor does it make a statement about the events of that day. Mr. Greengrass, in reality, doesn’t choose a very polarizing subject for his film (it would be hard to disdain the men and women who found themselves captive on that plane). “United 93” is more like a toe in the water; a first attempt by Hollywood to touch on the deadliest act of terrorism on American soil. And as such, it’s a reverent, moving piece of filmmaking.
