Movie Review - United 93
United 93 (2006)
directed by Paul Greengrass
rating: 2 out of 5 jalapeños
seen on the screen at the Malco Paradiso
No one has noticed - and someone should - that in "United 93," Paul Greengrass includes very specific criticisms of George W. Bush, women in uniform, women in crisis situations, and religious invocation (if not belief).
But the bottom line is this: if you've seen Air Force One, you can imagine "United 93." More "tasteful," perhaps, and almost certainly more romantic, but essentially a mediocre action movie inhabited by speculative human drama.
25th Hour was a great movie about September 11. This isn't.
