Review of Deepwater Horizon (2016) by Carfan1999 — 01 Oct 2016
As a disaster movie, it was great with tons of explosions, great camera work, a good performance by Mark Wahlberg, and realistic action. It's also quite depressing how 11 people died on the oil rig and how BP basically got away with this.
Where the film suffers is that the characters aren't that interesting, there's technological talk that the average person wouldn't understand, and there are times where it's hard to understand what's going on.
Overall, it's a good tribute to those who died, a good account of what happened that night, and what caused the oil rig explosion to happen. But when it tries to expand beyond a typical disaster film, it falters a bit.
