One solid film!

Rating: 8/10 (8 August 2017)

A good movie: A time framed story which chronologically counts down of what happened with the infamous BP gulf oil spill! Who did what? Safety concerns, managements push for profits over safety and the suspicion that something was wrong! Great acting from the lead roles. Kurt Russell is the ever vigilant, all knowing alpha male safety consultant. Kurt Russell's character was a hard edge in a serious Charlton Heston way. Mark Whalberg is the family oriented caring professional loved by his crew. John Malkovich is the the push for it's costing us profits manager and is manipulative. The management team does not answer why the safety team's check was cancelled. Deepwater Horizon background of the rig, processes, and extras gave the realism of the oil platform. Berg directs the foreground and background of oil rig procedures and characters into a realistic disaster story so well, that Deep Water Horizion is hard to Watch! Eight out of ten. There is even an explanation that the well is so deep that the pressure of the earth and oil was too great for the dig.
