Review of Deepwater Horizon (2016) by Lamontraymond — 29 Sep 2016

I had goosebumps from the last third of the film through the credits. What a respectful, impactful, exciting film that made me feel, for lack of a better word, unworthy. These courageous people acted so heroically, not only to protect and save their friends/co-workers, but even to do right by the rig and, in effect, the environment.

Mark Wahlberg is at his subtle acting best, and Kurt Russel is simply outstanding. Gina Rodriquez is also amazing in a smaller role. Not sure what the make of Malkovich as the "villain" - he's almost doing a James Carville Ragin Cajun.

...but hey, they can't all be perfect. . it's a really solid film.
