Rolling Stone: A salute is in order for Peter Berg – the man can direct a disaster movie like nobody's business. What strengthens Deepwater Horizon and raises the bar on the possibilities of the genre is that the story he tells is honestly and horrifyingly true. The film depicts the worst oil spill in American history when the BP-leased deepwater drilling rig, owned by Transocean, exploded on April 20, 2010, some 35 miles off the Louisiana coast in the Gulf of Mexico. Amid the spray of mud, oil and environmental calamity, 11 lives were lost. Berg creates the cataclysm of that day with unbearable tension and healing compassion.
One of 2023's biggest and dumbest creature features is making waves right now on streaming around the world.
