‘Deepwater Horizon’ Review – USA Today
USA Today: The disaster film (*** out of four; rated PG-13; in theaters nationwide Friday), which revisits the harrowing 2010 oil-rig explosion and spill in the Gulf of Mexico, is a fiery mix of white-knuckle tension, searing chaos and visceral drama. Even though you’re safe in your theater seat, director Peter Berg’s filmmaking is such where it’s hard not to feel the gritty rescue scenes, be mesmerized by the flammable carnage or get belatedly enraged by the idiocy of oil-company bureaucracy.
