Incredible. This has got to be one of the best movies I’ve ever seen. Ever! That may sound a little over the top but I assure you this definitely not only a must see movie but a must buy movie too.
Even though you know how the threads of the story resolve, the tension mounts almost unbearably. You’ll need a box of tissues when you watch. If you don’t shed a tear or two you should turn in your ‘member of the human race’ card afterward.
There are many telling moments but one of the most powerful for me is towards the end when the passengers and hijackers are all praying. Christians and Muslims, all praying to the same god but for different purposes. Though the film doesn’t ‘comment’ I think it profound to contemplate similar historical events where the roles were reversed.
