By A.o. Scott (2,100) for New York Times (5,786) on 28 Sep 2016

The film itself is as much a feat of engineering as a work of art, an efficient machine for delivering intricate data and blunt emotions…

Review of Deepwater Horizon (2016)

By Ty Burr (2,612) for Boston Globe (6,852) on 28 Sep 2016

What we’ve got is a highly entertaining nautical version of “The Towering Inferno’’ (still my favorite guilty pleasure of all time)…

Review of Deepwater Horizon (2016)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 28 Sep 2016

Berg sticks to the job at hand, imagining what it is was like to be there, and to be the victim of sloppy, deadly safety practices in the name…

Review of Deepwater Horizon (2016)

By Lawrence Toppman (1,654) for Charlotte Observer (1,670) on 28 Sep 2016

By Justin Chang (1,535) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 28 Sep 2016

Review of Deepwater Horizon (2016)

By Richard Roeper (2,737) for Chicago Sun-Times (7,580) on 27 Sep 2016
