A look at the environmental disaster that everyone remembers.

Rating: 8/10 (1 November 2017)

After watching a couple really awful movies this week I needed a movie like this one. This one I truly enjoyed. Based on a true story so it always gives the movie a bit more punch. Everybody remembers the terrible tragedy that occurred that day. Some would think it's a human tragedy but to me it's an environmental catastrophe. Millions of liters of oil devastating marine wildlife and this for decades. The movie doesn't mention anything about that, but it still remains a good movie to watch. Just to have an idea on what happens on an oil platform like that. That the big oil concerns like BP are faulty in every way is obvious. That they will never face consequences doesn't bother anybody. That's just the way it is. The mighty lobbyists win again. Mark Wahlberg gives us a good performance, as well as the other actors. The catastrophe scenes look like they are all real so for that the movie gets big credits. The story is poignant and will make everybody think about the disaster that happened there. A good catastrophe movie, even for the people that are not really into this kind of movies.
