Worth a Watch

Rating: 7/10 (24 August 2017)

This is a movie about the 2010 BP oil disaster on the Deepwater Horizon platform and mainly concentrates on the events leading up to the explosion and the explosion itself.
If I am being honest, it was a bit slow for the first half of the film but when the action sequences kick in, it was quite impressive with good use of CGI effects and rattles along at a good pace.
My friends in the industry say its not accurate, however, for the lay person its OK - the acting is OK, the script is OK the effects are good. What is disappointing is that very little attention was paid to the consequences of the explosion like the environmental impact and subsequent court case etc etc
Overall though, not a bad movie and an enjoyable watch - probably a 7.5 rather than a straight 7/10.
