Historical Event Through Hollywood Perspective

Rating: 8/10 (4 October 2016)

Historical tragedy reenactment with the typical Hollywood spicing. As long as you understand that this is a event told through Hollywood perspective then it is a film that is slow starting but picks up about a third of the way through and continues to build up from there. As far as based on true events::basic story-line (10/10), rig failure event line (6/10), actions made by individuals during evacuation (5/10). As a film: production (9/10), acting (10/10), script (9/10), historical accuracy (6/10). In summary, this is a great film to watch but not a great reference for the complete facts. For the actual facts I would recommend researching the court case which contains the investigation and the court's decision.
