Movie #1308 "Deepwater Horizon" was an intense movie I saw the other night, on a subject I followed in the news --- the explosion of he oil rig in 2010 that caused several men to die who were walking on it at the time. Maybe it was just me, but from the beginning of the film, I had trouble following what was going on. They very rarely made it clear to a layman what they were talking about. I could follow the gist of it, because I had seen a play on the same subject which was so much better in helping us understand the ins and outs of the oil rig and what basically happened when it blew, but the film did not. I really gave up after a while and just watched the very good special effects. And that's about all I can say that I really enjoyed about the film. Perhaps if you like action films, and you can follow more easily the details in the film, you probably will enjoy it much more. I just didn't. 3 stars out of 5.
