7/10
Realistic acting and effects when Deepwater Horizon exploded, set on fire and collapsed. Very realistic film of that real accident.
28 February 2021
Drama/history/accident film based on a true story. This is the biggest accident in the history of the oil industry in the US, which occurred in 2010. The first half of the film is something meaningless and perhaps boring, the film tries to show us some deepwater horizon crew members, but it should be shorter. The second half is the accident itself, where the pressure of the underwater pipe is high and defuses initially but then follows an explosion and the Deepwater Horizon is engulfed in flames and gradually collapses. Crew members try to survive and fight against time, explosions and flames. In the end it shows the real characters as well as some of the victims of the accident. An overall pretty good effort, although it could have been better, filling more in the second half of the film and reducing the first half that was pretty meaningless. As a whole it is recommended, and both Wahlberg and Kurt Russell are very good at their role.
