As I said, about half of it was fictional, and the other half wasn't. Or, a quarter and a quarter based on what I saw. Anyway, when you're sitting there watching them jump from fiction to nonfiction to fiction again... I just lost interest. And the acting left much to be desired.


I don't think that "acting" was the main focus of the film, in all honesty.

Is that a serious statement? The thing that makes a movie is how believable it is, and the majority of what makes it believable is the acting.

I just saw it. Pretty sad, really. I think it was well done really, that is for the effect they were going for.

I enjoyed this movie (as far as filmaking goes) and appreciated the subject content. The fact that none of the actors were big names or really even known and that a lot of the air traffic controlers played themselves added a lot to the movie.

Exactly, I really feel that using unknowns, or the real people was the better choice. You can't put big names in something like this, really. Otherwise people would be all "ZOMG, that's ______!!"
