I know, lets make a film blowing up an oil rig !

Rating: 6/10 (3 August 2017)

Typical boring disaster movie. You know whats going to happen and it takes ages to get to it, wading through boring family story stuff.
Also for 'based on a true story' it's remarkably vague who is to blame/what was the fault.
A rather 'cliched ; it was the rich oil company penny pinching so avoided testing.
Although the business sense of avoiding a few hundred thousand dollars for tests to protect a few hundred million worth of rig is rather bizarre
More clichÃ©, rather vague 'oil company' people on the rig, trying to override safety concerns
By being so vague it came across as, yet another 'glib' "based on a true story" offering from the Hollywood BS factory.
If they had been more decisive with the fault/blame it would have been more interesting. Presumably, though, they were scared of getting sued, so just went with the vague, shadowy 'evil oil company'.
Mediocre - neither a terrible film nor a great film. Watch once and forget
