When greed and intelligence meet
11 May 2024
Quite the story. The movie follows a great tragedy several miles out at sea in the Caribbean on a huge mobile drilling platform called "Deepwater Horizon" owned by the huge oil corporation called "BP". Typical corporate greed here as the elite executives visit the rig and systematically approve of the station's safety with no regard to tests that must be made to insure a safe drilling operation can proceed and because of one smart , wise operations manager (Kurt Russell) the required tests are made. However when the obvious readings show that the tests failed, the greedy elites push forward regardless and that's when all hell literally breaks out. The sad thing is this is a true story and it actually happened and even sadder is that this kind of thing will most likely happen again. Greed is greed and where large amounts of money are involved and perks for key people are set up, innocents will always die in the process and even if the ones who cause the deaths are arrested, tried and convicted, they seldom ever finish out their prison terms as in the case with these evil men in this disaster. Lots of emotions, struggle, heroism, selflessness and courage abound. Nothing questionable, no nudity with brief exception to Kurt Russell in the shower briefly, and a few cuss words appropriately used, and a bit of graphic tragic bodily violence, it's a great watch. Enjoy!
