Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!

SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Portia Hilton Blistering performances.

tstudstrup This boring movie only deals with the events happening up untill the explosion.A bunch of rednecks, whose southern accent I could only understand with subtitles on, works on an oilrig. *SPOILERS AHEAD*A boss, played by always slimey John Malkovic,h is responsible for the accident, al though Im not sure how. There is alot of technical mumbo jumbo that only makes sense for people working on oilrigs. Mark Whalberg plays Mark Whalberg and Kate Hudson plays his annoying wife whose only job is to worry if her husband survived. Kurt Russel plays another boss, but he is one of the goodguys for some reason. If you expect an actionmovie you will be dissapointed. Nothing happens for 51 minutes. Youre introduced to alot of rednecks that you wont get to know or care about despite the movie taking its time before the explosion. And when the action does happen, its hard to tell whats going on, because its dark and there is alot of shaky cam. Afterwards there are videoes from a hearing and investigation into the accident. The characters played by Whalberg and Russel looks nothing like the real characters. Which is lazy and dumb. The impact on the environment from the explosion isn only dealt with, showing a pelican covered in oil and dying. And a text saying it was the worst oil disaster in US history. And then we see pictures of the real 11 killed rednecks with some annoying countrysong playing in the background. This movie doesnt know wether it wants to be drama or an actionmovie. And as a result its neither. Not worth watching.

Martin Bradley A disaster movie about a disaster that really happened. In his film "Deepwater Horizon", director Peter Berg adopts a documentary approach and takes his time getting to the big bang and the movie is all the better for it. This is a movie that never exploits either its subject or its characters while still ticking all the necessary boxes and benefits considerably from a first-rate cast, (Mark Wahlberg, Kurt Russell, a terrific John Malkovitch, Kate Hudson etc), all at the top of their game; no mean feat when the real star of the picture is an exploding oil rig, (special effects, cinematography, editing, sound recording are all top notch). As disaster movies go, this is highly effective and in the end, very moving.

cinemajesty Movie Review: "Deepwater Horizon" (2016)A movie including one of the most intense action sequences in motion picture history with running time of thirty minutes of non-stop high-pressured terror of a microscopic world in shape of an oil rig lying the Gulf of Mexico took fire in an real-life event in Spring 2010, where employees of British Petroleum (BP) and their affiliated contracted companies, got into scenario of nature's retaliation for digging too deep, too fast into grounds of sea bottom's earth.Director Peter Berg undertook everything to avoid pointing fingers; so does the Lorenzo di Bonaventura produced picture, starring Mark Wahlberg, Kurt Russell, John Malkovich and Kate Hudson preaching hyper-realism without falling into traps of being a documentary shaped movie, keeping the cinematography evolving, making the spectator a first-hand eyewitness of a straight story editorial of 95 Minutes (excluding thanks givings, honorees and credits) by Gabriel Fleming & Colby Parker Jr., who avoid any dull moments. The picture and sound editing by Wylie Stateman & Renee Tondelli stay true to cinema, building a relentless drive through fifty two minutes of suspense accumulating; even though every audience member knew what event was about to happen, this movie does the trick of being highly effective in his action pay-offs without neglecting thrilling elements of human struggle in extreme situations."Deepwater Horizon" stands apart in a line of disaster movies; embracing, if not to say evolving from classics as "The Towering Inferno" (1974) or more recent disappointments "San Andreas" (2015) to focus on the essence of any character's life-threatening situation to get out dead or alive as soon as possible. This movie directed by Peter Berg represents truthfully the struggle of survival and fast over-comings without giving in into overlong crying-out-loud family sweeteners; a picture, which must likely to be watched on a quality movie theater screen with an audience to breath with.© 2017 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)

Michael Ledo This is a dramatization of the events surrounding the explosion and BP spill of the Deepwater Horizon floating platform located 41 miles off the coast of Louisiana. The film centers around Mike Williams (Mark Wahlberg) the Chief Electronics Technician (according to his hard hat but he was an engineer) of the crew and to a lesser extended through Andrea Fleytas (Gina Rodriguez) an operator. The operation of the drilling is explained early in the film by Mike's daughter using a coke can and honey for a school project. Ominously the coke sprays out the top.We see Mike struggle to maintain a safe ship against the pressure of schedule and profits as they drill "the well from hell." He says, "Every time I peel off a band-aid I find three or four more. " He butts head with John Malkovich who had the honor of playing BP engineer and representative Don Vidrine, the film's bad guy. He helps explains things to Don by comparing safety to noodling.The special effects were pretty intense. Like so many major accidents, people want to deny they are happening until too late. The irony is that this unsafe rig was getting a safety award for being BP's safest rig. I shudder to think.In the end, the film has a brief tribute to those who lost their lives for oil and profits.Guide: 1 F-word. No sex or nudity.
