A journey into areas we don't often see...

Rating: 8/10 (12 November 2016)

I read the reviews before I watched it, Generally, an over 7 is usually a decent movie and you won't be disappointed.
I like the technology and the Rig speak, which for guys that work with their hands, just sounds right to the ear.
These guys did a good job of portraying a Gulf of Mexico type Roughneck...Having spent 6 months in Biloxi, you meet the type...A quiet dignity and hellraisers when they're off...You have to respect the intricacies of the work these men do to keep us moving...
I really liked Malkovich's role, he put some meat on that bone; :)...Of course Wahlberg is good in his role too...Nice to see Kurt keeping up too...
If you're looking for subtlety and nuance, this is NOT the type of movie you should watch...If you enjoy watching men risk their lives to serve the nation's energy requirements and the sacrifices and sometimes the ultimate sacrifices, all in the name of the job; you'll be glad you saw it...
Respect to all whose job can kill you...Stay safe.
