A great movie

This flick must be one of the most underrated movies I have ever seen. Indeed, Paul Greengrass is above all known for the two Bourne movies he has directed (indeed, those were some solid action flicks but nothing really amazing in my opinion) and everybody seems to forget this 'small' movie he made between those two. In my opinion, it is actually a real shame since this movie happens to be a real masterpiece. Yes, I'm totally serious. First of all, I thought this it was just really heartbreaking. Indeed, to watch this was a really powerful and harrowing experience. Above all, the real masterstroke was that they chose not to give any explanation about why the protagonists acted in anyway, victims or terrorists, and, as a result, it pretty much works like a captivating mirror showing the chaos in which our world is evolving. On top of that, the cast was solely composed of an unknown actors and no one stood out which made this shattering retelling of these tragic events even more captivating. With dealing with this kind of movies, my wife always argues 'Since they are all dead, how the hell do they know how it all went down?'. First of all, the makers spent a huge amount of time to make it as accurate as possible and, secondly, faithfulness is not everything, I'd rather had a story well told which happens to be fake than a straight story which happens to suck balls. Anyway, I think this movie was just amazing, I think it is a great achievement and it is definitely worth a look.
