Deepwater Horizon's reviews
Media reviews
The Hollywood Reporter
"Director Peter Berg and star Mark Wahlberg deliver the goods again with a rugged drama about an incident that created an environmental disaster and a worldwide scandal".
Empire
"An efficient and no-nonsense depiction of the worst disaster in US oil drilling history, buoyed by excellent performances".
The Guardian
Deepwater Horizon is a gruelling disaster movie and a reminder of one company?s catastrophic oversights, and it stands as a worthy tribute to the brave men involved.
Variety
"For a movie in which you can't follow what's going on for 75% of the time, Deepwater Horizon proves remarkably thrilling".
Screen Daily
"If nothing else, Deepwater Horizon makes a case for going back to basics with action films. It's classically framed, executed, and feels like the real deal, and while it clearly boasts some fine effects work, it manages to lose the cartoonish aspect of so many recent tentpoles".
The Wrap
"It's a thrilling film with impressive set pieces, solid acting and a pulse-pounding climax. Movie-wise, mission mostly accomplished. But to experience Deepwater Horizon and ignore the external circumstances surrounding its creation is a difficult task".
Indiewire
'Deepwater Horizon' fixates on beginning of the infamous oil spill with the superficial intensity of a theme park ride. It turns a major tragedy into a minor disaster movie.
