Deepwater Horizon (2016) Movie Review

Deepwater Horizon (2016) Review


From "Lone Survivor", to this one and ending with "Patriots Day", Peter Berg has become an expert in telling real life events on the big screen. The guy knows how to encapsulate the emotions, anger, fear, courage and the human spirit of its characters based/portraying real life people. This movie is a testament of the courage showed by the crew of the titled oil rig. The movie uses brilliantly the man-made disaster story and we get this action thriller that is gripping, dark, gritty, emotional and serious. The scene at the beginning of the movie, in the kitchen, Peter Berg deploys a very smart and brilliant hint on what to expect. Performances are great, Mark Wahlberg, by my opinion an underrated actor, does a very good job by showing all the moods that his character/real person is going thru. Kurt Russell, John Malkovich and Kate Hudson are very good as well. Good acting, good directing, great effects and an emotional, sad and great story about the human spirit. It's a human movie, if you will. One little thing: the characters/real persons are not that developed but I'm nitpicking here so I can gloss over that. 8.5/10
