This is a good movie, but don't watch it thinking for a minute that you're gonna go get the whole story, or the full truth.
This disaster is way more complicated in terms of the lead up to the event- attitudes toward safety, cost cutting, the roles of each company in the whole story and so on.
Having said that, the concern I had with a movie such as this, is that it might glorify or glamorize the event. Whilst it's definitely got the Hollywood spin, I think it's been done well.
The special FX are awesome and totally believable.
The acting is good- it's not Oscar nomination stuff, but it's good overall.
If you're looking for an action flick with a difference, then this is for you. If you're looking for a documentary that's gonna give you insight to a disaster such as this, then this is not for you.
