Petty complaints aside, Deepwater Horizon actually does an amazing job at relieving the real life story of hours leading up to this disaster. Many of the real-life survivors worked on the film to give the most accurate portray of happened that spring day in 2010. The film has a lot of subtle humor to it in the first act to prevent the film from being a complete emotional drag on the audience. The acting is stellar, you can tell they really went the extra mile to make this film work and credit to them for putting in the effort. If you are the type of personal who hates corporate greed, well this is the film for you. Human Life < Profits is the selling point of the film and drives it home showing you how careless people can lead to such a great disaster. Deepwater Horizon is one of the most powerful films of the year and a must-see.

Thank you for a serious comment. Tired of all the trolls looking to complain about nothing.
I so agree with you. I remember when this happened. Safe and sound in my comfy home a couple thousand miles away. It wasn't personal then, this movie made it personal now.

Definitely, this movie and Sully really put you in the situation and let you know what it felt like to be there. Also excellent acting in both films.

Trying to create a funny, engaging YouTube channel. If you guys check it out, hope you enjoy what you see. Thanks in advance.

Have you been paid off by Halliburton's lawyers as there's no mention of their complicity.

It can't be a dram-doc if it doesn't stick to the facts. I am not a troll - just someone who likes to see the truth onscreen.

Corporate greed affects everyone. You are either a victim or a player. So most people can relate or at least feel something after watching this film. I work for one that was just recently bought by Brazilian company 3G and Warren Buffet. The practice is almost like third world environment. Massive lay offs and execs hoarding most of the money.
