Good observation, Raji
 

The 'Let's roll" comment was very understated! I am surprised (and pleased) that he wasn't shown saying it by standing up, puffing out his chest and, after a pregnant pause, melodramatically announcing "Let's roll!"

If my memory serves me, he said it nervously, repeating it about three times. I liked everything about the movie and the realistic, unpretentious approach. Refreshing to see a good, character driven movie.

Saw this movie yesterday in the movie theatre.
Very strong movie, and indeed, both gripping, depressing AND uplifting by the courage of the passangers. It really gave me a kind of adrealine rush of: yes, if in such a situation, if you have nothing to loose, why not risk winning over the situation?

And indeed, the movie was very human, the terrorists weren't demons, the other passengers weren't out-of-life heroesn and the tension was almost unbearable at times.
