Peter Berg Pulls It Off

Rating: 7/10 (12 May 2017)

I really enjoyed this picture and will recommend it. Peter Berg had a factual event to bring to the screen and he did so without lots of Hollywood dramatization and kept to the facts. There is enough drama in the real disaster that it does not require embellishment. Mark Wahlberg once again works with Berg and the two seem to work well together. Kate Hudson got to work with Kurt Russell who she calls her dad as he raised her and it was good to finally see them in a scene together near the end. The event is well documented so I will not get into that but the movie gives you an inside view of what happened but not exactly why it happened. Suffice to say that BP Petroleum is responsible for the 11 mens deaths.
