Believable recreation of true event

Rating: 9/10 (8 October 2016)

Wow, this is a truly gripping and frightening representation of the catastrophic blowout on the Deepwater Horizon in 2010 that killed 11 workers but created absolute environmental havoc in the Mexican Gulf. The script, though slightly wordy for real real life goes a long way in helping you understand who the characters on the rig were and what their roles were in the event. The film is absolutely gripping and you'll be on the edge of your seat before you know it. Fire and exploding metal almost comes out of the screen towards you....without having to go to an Imax. No doubt, screened at an Imax this effect will be even more pronounced. Frightening and heart stopping in turns, this is a definite must see.
