Disaster movies are usually guilt-free confections. They’re usually an act of nature, so there’s no one to blame, and they feature destruction so grandiose that it blunts the impact of the destruction to where we can enjoy the mayhem. In his new film Deepwater Horizon, director Peter Berg takes a drastically different approach in his disaster movie. The story is based on true events, and Berg makes it a point to keep his story as real as possible. By embracing this realism, the disaster in Deepwater Horizon becomes immediate and horrifying.
