It's not as good as you expected but not bad

Rating: 4/10 (21 September 2016)

After "Lone Survivor" Peter Berg again comes to with "Deepwater Horizon". It is a thriller movie and for me, it was a very anticipated movie. I was so excited about this movie and I like Peter Berg's direction. My personal favorite is his "Battleship".That was science fiction movie but I liked that movie. His next venture is "Lone Survivor" and that was a critically acclaimed movie. The way he executes the story line and the script sometimes that was very imposing that's why I was eagerly waiting for this movie.
It is the story of "oil spill in U.S. history". In April 2010 the explode happened and there are many political and social problem created for this reason. The story is about this and I am not revealing the story. The story very catchy and full of emotion. You can see the opposite reaction to this incidents and feel the emotions of the involved persons. I think this is a thriller and equally a drama movie.
The story is good but the director failed to catch the opportunities. He just missed making this movie a gem. The continuation and the emotions of the characters are sometimes like fake. The chemistry between the characters are not so imposing and not engaging. The character development is not authoritative and sometimes the dialogues are very cliché.
Performance wise Mark Wahlberg has done an OK job but nothing to shout about. John Malkovich and Dylan O'Brien has done a wonderful job and I think John Malkovich steals the show properly. Rest of the cast's acting is very average and nothing to applaud about. The background score is very poor and not matched with the story.
If you want to know the story of that explode and you are not aware of that then this movie is for you and don't tell me anything after watching this.
