Deepwater Horizon (2016)
Country: HK/US
Technical: col/2.35:1 107m
Director: Peter Berg
Cast: Mark Wahlberg, Kurt Russell, John Malkovich
Synopsis:
The story of the fatal blow-out that hit the eponymous oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico, owing to company shortcuts, and the bravery shown by the electrical engineer on board in getting crew members to safety.
Review:
Absorbing, moving, and stunningly realized drama, in the modern style (cf. United 93). The only regret is that the causes of the accident and its technicalities were not more clearly addressed in a section devoted to the ensuing enquiry, since once the action starts it is very hard to follow what is going on.
