The action is quick and relentless and a movie that should be taken as entertainment but not fact. A real must watch movie

Rating: 8/10 (10 January 2017)

"We are a big company, millions of moving parts. We all work very hard to ensure those moving parts are functioning as a means to a very profitable win for all of us." Mike Williams (Wahlberg) and Jimmy Harrell (Russell) have just landed on the Deepwater Horizon oil rig and have discovered tests weren't run like they were supposed to. Now, up against the executives from BP, and over a month behind schedule a choice must be made, agree with executives, or go with their gut. The decision resulted in the largest oil spill and one of the biggest disasters in US history. This is a movie that is just flat out exciting and entertaining and extremely fast paced. Politically, the movie is really one sided and portrays the oil executives as money hungry and willing to risk danger for a profit. I'm sure that was part of the case but maybe not to the extent portrayed in this film. That aspect aside, this is one of the best disaster movies made in a while and one that I highly recommend. The action is quick and relentless and a movie that should be taken as entertainment and not fact. Overall, a super exciting and entertaining movie that is a must watch. I give this an A-.
