Based on the true events that occurred on an oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico on April 20, 2010, the story chronicles the courage of those who worked on the Deepwater Horizon and the extreme moments of bravery and survival in the face of what would become one of the biggest man-made disasters in world history.
This movie was so good. I loved it. That must have been so scary to live in real life. It looked so horrifying. I can see why then never wanted to go back to that job. Why would anyone leave without checking the safety of the Deepwater Horizon? Even if someone told them to do it. Safety checks should always be done. I liked how Mike stayed to looked for other people. He risked his life to make sure others got off safely. What really bugs me is that BP was charged for manslaughter but the charges were dropped. They are the ones who forced the pressure check which caused the blow out. That was some explosion and it was their faults. At least that's what it looked like. Working with oil looks super dangerous and a reason I will never do it. I can't believe they went through all that. I feel kind of bad about it. I suggest bringing tissues if you see this movie. The ending might make you cry. I admit I did. It was nice to see most of them survive. It's sad that 11 of them didn't make it. I can't imagine how their families must feel. That fire was huge. I never knew how big a oil rig fire can get. I never want to see one in person. They probably had nightmares about it after. Maybe for months or years. I wouldn't blame them. I would be just as scared from what happened. This movie is worth watching and worth the money to see. Just don't forget them tissues for the end. I thought the pictures at the end were pretty cool. A tribute to the men who died. It was kind of sweet. The actors were really good. I think the guy who played Jimmy looked a lot like the real one.
