As expected this is a bit of a propaganda movie against BP but that was of course rather expected.It is still watchable.The dramatization is fairly well done and the effects are believable as well as enjoyable.If you watch it as a disaster drama and special effects movie it is definitely okay.

As a documentary, well I would say that it falls short. ...

To remind us our errors and limits.

It was a surprising film.Because it was based on a real event, but there's nothing much about heroism which is essential for most of this kind of film and its success to inspire the viewers.I liked that.They just wanted to tell the story. ...

Very well-balanced, the film does not tire us and provides good entertainment.

Disaster and accident films are common, although I feel that, for the last ten years, this has been an underexplored genre.The film is based on a true incident where a massive oil drilling rig suffered critical safety failures, eventually catching fire and collapsing.After investigations, the inadequate operation of a team that was supposed to place a cement lining in the hole opened by the platform was responsible for what happened, as well as the lack of maintenance of the equipment, all situations that would have been avoided if the company contracting the platform, BP, had really been less avaricious in relation to the costs and delays of the undertaking.

The film is quite good, it offers us quality entertainment without major flaws, but this does not mean that it is free from important criticism.In fact, the script could be better if there wasn't such a long delay, at the beginning of the film, to reach the platform. ...
