The towering inferno at sea

Rating: 4/10 (24 December 2016)

It wasn't a bad film,but it wasn't all that good either.It falls somewhere in between. Mark wahlberg does an OK job as an oil rig electrician.But he's character could've used more meat on the bone. I'm left with the impression, that they sold the movie,to the people with the money, on Kurt russel and Mark alone.The rest was just there to fill smaller parts.
Though the movie ain't bad,and I was certainly entertained it lacked realism in certain areas, and had too much heroism. There was just too many actions after the sh*t hit he fan, that didn't make sense to me.Though I'm no oil rig worker,so I may be completely wrong here. But I would assume a oil rig Electrician is not in charge of fixing the computers blue screen of death. Yet they complain to Mark Wahlbergs character about it,as if he is in charge of fixing it.
But the scenes when the rig is on fire and it's burning everywhere,is well shot,and makes the movie exciting enough to forget the faults,until end credit roll.
