A fantastic dramatic film that pulls on the heartstrings.

Rating: 9/10 (4 October 2016)

This film has been gaining allot of buzz since it came out and I have now seen deepwater horizon and this is a very interesting fantastic film. The premise of the film sees based on true events a group of technicians who are caught on a malfunctioning oil rig. Mark wahlberg plays mike our main protagonist and he gives one of his best performances in this film, he plays our blue collar hero and you are behind him the entire film. He also gives allot of passion to the role and respect for the real life person. Kurt russell plays the head of deepwater horizon and he does a very good job in the role. John malkovich plays the bp representative and he is truly evil in this film but delivers a charismatic performance that you want to listen to. Kate hudson plays wahlberg's wife at home and she does a good job in this film and her chemistry with wahlberg is really good. The story of the film is obviously based off of a true story and when the action starts on the rig you are invested in the situation. Also this film has allot of important subject matter that should be seen. Also there is some nice character interactions in the first act of the film. The script has allot of great dramatic dialogue that does make you care about the people that are involved in the situation. Also when the film tries humour it works for the most part. The style of the film has great action scenes and truly scary visual scenes when this event happens. However, I do feel like the parts before the incident felt quite drawn out and long which did hurt my anticipation in this film. Overall I really enjoyed this film and feel it is an important film for people to see.
