United 93 is excellent

I recently saw the movie United 93. It is an excellent movie.

It's a pretty tragic film, but very well made. Lots of foreshadowing, because you know what will happen, and how it will end. Lots of fantastic contrasts, showing various individuals at the same moment, and how their actions match, or oppose, the actions of others.

The director also directed the last two Bourne movies, and is very good. One of the weirdest parts of the movie is how it seems like a documentary. And one of the reasons is that many of the people involved play themselves in the movie. Truly fascinating.
