It tells of the 2010 events that led to one of the worst oil spills in U.S. history, when the Deepwater Horizon offshore oil rig exploded killing 11 men.
The heart-stopping action sequences is the star here with it's snappy editing, incredible sound design and applause-worthy visual effects. The characters are wafer-thin, leaving only Wahlberg and Kurt Russell with enough to chew on that so there's actual reason to become emotionally invested. Fortunately Berg doesn't exploit the event for wide-eyed popcorn thrills and instead makes the action realistically frightening, but ultimately fails to explore the drastic environmental destruction in the aftermath.
