Excellent action/suspense movie but....

Rating: 7/10 (12 March 2020)

I can't speak to how realistic this movie is I don't know the details. This was a real event and people lost their lives. But for the conversations and details within the movie I am not sure how accurate it is but it doesn't matter if you want a good fast paced tense movie this is a good one. I have mixed feelings about it, the movie focuses on the oil rig workers and really focuses on putting the blame on the BP execs and basically saying they forced us into this situation. Which might be how it happened.
They show the real folks at the end of the movie so I am sure you can dig into the actual facts and I know BP was sued or fined billions of dollars over this. It was interesting to see the life on an oil rig and show just how scary things can get if things go wrong.
There are lots of scenes of people getting hurt or killed so if you are sensitive to that don't watch. Otherwise its a solid movie and great acting from Mark and Kurt.
