Very good film

Rating: 9/10 (25 April 2017)

OK I hate the reviews everyone gives for this film. What did y'all expect when you decided to buy a movie ticket to go watch this movie. If you thought this movie was all about the economical side of it all then your stupid enough to realize that it wasn't. From the moment I saw the trailer I knew that Peter Berg was geared tired more of the life of the riggers and what happened on board of the rig and I knew he was gonna portray that. Did it seem like a typical Michael Bay movie, yes. I knew a fire broke out and all but what Peter Berg did was add all this big explosions and fire shooting at them and the camera shaky effect kinda made it a little bit non realistic in a way but still I bet that did happen on that rig and how the big fire erupted and caused a lot of destruction, we know that happened.
The plot could've been better and well written I can give you that but acting wise I think everyone did a great job and Peter Berg put up an amazing cast for this film. It gets deep and emotional and it will cut right into you if you pay close attention. This film had my heart racing. Every second watching it and seeing how Mark would maneuver past those fires and how everyone was trying to stop the flood of oil and all these fires erupting from different places had me at the edge of my seat. What Peter Berg wanted for us to see and feel is there pain on that rig and what happened on that day on April 20th, 2010. He wanted us to feel there pain and have us at the edge of our seats just waiting to what will happen next
All I gotta say is if there were more options for rating this film I'd give it an 8.5 out of 10 but since there is none I'll settle with a 9. I definitely recommend this to anyone
