"United 93" reviews trickle in from TriBeCa: "I've never had a more excruciating moviegoing experience in my life"
We can offer you a peek at Salon.com‘s review of Universal‘s “United 93” a day early. Their take? To use an indelicate metaphor, it crashed and burned.

Viz, her lede:
“Paul Greengrass’ “United 93” is a movie made with tremendous care, and with almost boundless sensitivity to persons living and dead. But just hours after seeing the picture, I’m finding it hard to care about Greengrass’ integrity: I’ve never had a more excruciating moviegoing experience in my life, and as brilliantly crafted — and as adamantly unexploitive — as the picture is, it still leaves you wondering why it was made in the first place.“
