Review of Deepwater Horizon (2016) by Themetacritiqer — 05 Oct 2016
A bipolar movie that fails in the areas I expected unfortunately. The first half is great. It delves into the details of running the rig without being boring. John Malcovich is great as what most people would call a villain but isn't really.
When the disaster starts, it's all good. And the escense of the movie climaxes with the huge explosion. Everything after that is pretty bad though. It honestly should have ended there. Things get way too action packed and numbing.
Unlike a intense battle between two adversary's, there is no weight behind all the explosions as it's just about surviving. This style isn't always bad. It can be good like the beginning of cod ghosts.
This is the second movie I've seen in a while that should have ended after it's climax. Anthropoid being the other. Now to see The Girl (please don't suck or I'm talking a break from movies) On The Train.
