Review of Deepwater Horizon (2016) by Moviemitch96 — 04 Oct 2016

Another worthwhile team-up between Mark Wahlberg and director Peter Berg. The true story this film is based off of is retold in a harrowing fashion and many of the scenes were incredibly hard to watch.

However, I also thought that the final act felt a bit rushed and that the acting was questionable at times. I especially thought that the accents of Kurt Russell and John Malkovich's characters felt rather hokey and Malkovich's character was especially wasted.

Nonetheless, the film still managed to boast some powerful visuals and action and remained an entertaining watch for the most part. Overall, it's not the best disaster flick out there and isn't what I'd call groundbreaking by any means, but it is worthwhile enough.
