Amazing

Rating: 8/10 (16 January 2017)

Given the fact that this movie is about a tragedy, both on the human side but also on the environmental, maybe the word "amazing" is not the best to entitle my review. But in any case, this movie is really worth watching.
It's about the courage needed to face adversities and come out of them in one piece. But it's also about standing up for what you believe to be true, no matter what others might say.
This movie was about the worst oil spill in the history of the US and at many points it's really shocking. I particularly felt my stomach in a knot when this seagull entered the bridge of the ship near the rig.
Mark Walberg was amazing but Kurt Russel was also breathtaking. I was also impressed by all the mechanics and technology involved in the process which are usually a black box for people that are not involved in this business.
Overall, a really informative movie with some really interesting acting from all the actors involved and of course a really inconvenient truth that has to become a lesson for all of us.
