Movie Review: DEEPWATER HORIZON

Deepwater Horizon is a new film by director Peter Berg starring Mark Wahlberg, Kurt Russell, and Gina Rodriguez, amongst others. This film dramatizes the events that occurred on the ultra-deepwater semi-submersible offshore oil drilling rig Deepwater Horizon in late April of 2010 when a build-up of pressure inside the pipes caused a blowout, a massive explosion, and (over time) the worst man-made environmental disaster in U.S. history. This film is highly effective at engaging the audience and having something to say about the situation specifically on the rig. Laser focused, Berg delivers a really successful product early in this fall movie season.
