Review of Deepwater Horizon (2016) by Realisticrage — 02 Oct 2016

This movie scares you on a level that is impossible for horror films to surpass. The brutal intensity of watching the employees burning, getting crushed, and receive injury in horrifyingly realistic ways effects you on a level not unlike director Peter Berg's previous screenplay, Lone Survivor.

Deepwater Horizon does not delve into character development, but rather character depth. You get to know the cast by their personalities and how they react to certain situations they encounter. Kurt Russell and Mark Wahlberg shine as "Mr.

Jimmy" Harrell and Mike Williams, their dialogue rich and realistic, specifically with Russell's commanding and competent portrayal of Mr. Jimmy. Peter Berg has made another masterpiece.
