I've seen it, it is NOT the usual hollywood film, it concentrates on the families involved and is not touched with the feelgood factor.

As a side note the lead actor for the terrorists apparently was banned from going to NY to the premier - he's a successful asylum seeker now living in the London area who originated from Middle Eastern parts.

I would say see it then decide, just be prepared for a thought provoking film.

The other point about facts.  The film was put together from information relayed by the people on the plane to their families when they phoned them on their mobile phones.  This was deemed possible and was proved as they plane was below a certain height.  Also the head of the federal air traffic control (he plays himself in the film) who was responsible for grounding every flight in the US said it was as close as it could be with the information it had.


Personally my question was nothing to do about profits, as stated in one of the posts, but to do with the actual situation itself.

ditto that

As to america being our friend (this is aimed at the goverment rather than the people) then it is a friend we can well do without (que posts about WW2 which will be mostly ill conceived and based on american propaganda). Who wants a friend that only wants you to back them up in a fight that they generaly start :?:  :roll:
