best and emotional movie 2016

Rating: 10/10 (23 January 2017)

It is not a perfect movie and it's not artsy, or profound. However, it is very entertaining, has wide appeal, will make you laugh, have you on the edge of your seat and might even make you cry. It's a slow build at the beginning but the tension soon rises and you will then be hooked. Deepwater Horizon is a movie that succeeds on two levels: as an action-packed blockbuster and as an honest depiction of a tragic disaster. It's the story of the BP oil rig that exploded and contaminated the Gulf of Mexico. It is great movie.
On April 20, 2010, Deepwater Horizon, an oil drilling rig operated by private contractor Transocean, is set to begin drilling off the southern coast of Louisiana on behalf of BP. Engineer Michael "Mike" Williams (Mark Wahlberg) and rig supervisor James "Jimmy" Harrell (Kurt Russell) are surprised to learn that the workers assigned to drill for get oil without to keep the well stable. James and Michael force BP to do the pressure test on pipe line. The pressure test I negative; however, Without, waiting for Harrell to confirm the results, Vidrine orders the well to be opened.
At first, the operation goes smoothly, but the foundation eventually gives way, triggering a massive blowout that overpowers and kills eleven people.
As night falls and the burning oil lights up the area, the Coast Guard becomes aware of the incident and sends a ship to collect the survivors and rescue everyone.
Returned home, the workers reunite with their families in a hotel lobby. The film ends with a series of clips showing the aftermath of the disaster, including testimony from the real-life Mike Williams and the revelation that not a single employee of either Transocean or BP was prosecuted for their actions. Pictures appear of the 11 men who lost their lives before the credits.
