Film Reviews by None

The tension of the hijack is brilliantly conveyed - particularly as the hijackers don't appear worthy of suspicion or attention. Paul Greengrass tells a difficult story with taste and a consistently deft touch. Be warned - it's a terrifying story. I didn't sleep well after watching it.

This is a film which grows on you. It's unhurried in pace, and the humour is subtler than most of us are used to in American cinema. But it's about real people, and we get to like them as we see more of them. Because we like them, we want a happy ending.

Definitely recommended.
