• United 93 directed by Paul Greengrass (2006)

  [7/10]

  "United 93 walks us through the transition from before 9/11 to after 9/11. Our lives take place with a much more hectic set of background noises playing than before, and with United 93, we watch the exact moment when the background noise increased."

• World Trade Center directed by Oliver Stone (2006)

  [6/10]

  "Stone does an excellent job of developing his characters, in spite of having his main characters immobolized in a pile of rubble. He also never allows the story to get overly sentimental and avoids overtly manipulating the audience's emotions."

  Average score: 6.50
