Peter Berg continues his winning streak with DEEPWATER HORIZON, a blockbuster disaster drama about the ill fated oil right and the disastrous accident that happened back in 2010. The film wisely devotes the first act to introducing the characters from the seasoned supervisor (Kurt Russell) to the wily engineer (Mark Wahlberg) and the slimy executive (John Malkovich). Once the accident happens, it is a heart-stopping thriller that vividly recreates the traumatic destruction but also the heroic braver of those trapped on the doomed vessel.
