Review of Deepwater Horizon (2016) by Hfahmy — 07 Oct 2016
Typical disaster movie... More of a documentary movie that tells how the Deepwater Horizon oil rig collapsed in 2010 due to oil leakage. It shows how the oil rig team and the BP oil company have different basic preferences.
The oil rig chief engineer, Kurt Russell as Jimmy Harell, stands for safety first, and the BP representative, John Malkovich as Vidrine, goes for quick startup of the project at the expense of safety.
Compromising safety led to the worst oil platform collapse in American history, resulting in 11 dead. It is a real story telling team show, no role is imposing, just Kurt Russell and John Malkovich, then Mark Whalberg and Gina Rodriguez.
The movie is breathtaking, absorbing, well crafted as facts and cinematography.
