Résumés(1)
D'après l'incroyable histoire vraie de la plus grande catastrophe pétrolière de l'histoire. La plateforme Deepwater Horizon tourne non-stop pour tirer profit des 800 millions de litres de pétrole présents dans les profondeurs du golfe du Mexique. Mike Williams, électricien sur la plateforme et père de famille, connaît les risques de son métier mais fait confiance au professionnalisme de son patron Jimmy Harrell. En revanche, tous se méfient de la société locataire de la plateforme dirigée par Donald Vidrine, qui ne pense qu'à son bénéfice. Lorsque cette société décide contre l'avis des techniciens de la déplacer trop rapidement, il sont loin de se douter que les 5 millions de barils sous leurs pieds sont prêts à exploser... Le seul courage de Mike et ses collègues suffira-t-il à limiter les dégâts et sauver ce qui peut encore l'être ? (SND)

Scénaristiquement direct, techniquement excellent, un enfer catastrophe avec un peu de clichés mais une fin émotionnellement digne et impressionnante. Pour moi, c'est le premier film catastrophe si intense que je n'ai pas envie de le revoir simplement pour le plaisir de la qualité cinématographique. Wahlberg en « héros populaire de la banlieue » fonctionne traditionnellement bien, Kurt Russell en chef responsable de la bande de travailleurs masculins est le meilleur du film. Quant à John Malkovich, il a sûrement été convaincu par un cachet élevé. Dans son rôle de cadre sans scrupules, d'autres candidats me conviendraient mieux, simplement avec un nom moins célèbre.

A conflicting mix of two completely incompatible approaches, coldly procedural movie with a Greengrass patina and biased "trade unionist" black and white in terms of characters. There are only two types of characters: hard-working good guys/heads of families, the only dirt on their character is grease (but it must be acknowledged that the Wahlberg / Russell duo manages this mode with honor) and viciously villainous white-collar management, which knows nothing and doesn't understand anything, casting menacing glances, counting every penny and making money from working rabble. Thanks to this polarization, it finds easy, unrealistic "who is to blame" solutions, which shamefully dulls the procedural line, which is otherwise presented excellently and credibly in itself, and is the film's strongest point. The final disaster (not catastrophic) third is appropriately impressive and properly explosive, but so frantically edited, when one shot follows the other even before the first ended, that this lack of clarity (probably intentional) almost make the viewer dull. On the whole, rather disappointing, from such a major event as the disaster at Deepwater. It would definitely have been possible to make more out of it than just a just a decent movie covering at the same time two different genres.

The weakest Berg. The first hour is literally an ordeal to watch, I was flipping from side to side in boredom. A very unappealing plot that didn't interest me at all. Once something starts happening there is some decent action, but after 20 minutes it fizzles out again as the pathos sets in and boredom sets in again. No emotion, not very engaging, for me very dysfunctional and cold. Finished with problems. 50%

Another reason to cut down on driving your car. And I have to admit that I am really glad that this movie was made. Without embellishment, it shows absolutely precisely what interests BP had on the oil rig and how the company was willing to literally walk over dead bodies to achieve its interests. The film as such then quite intensely and relatively exactly depicts the disaster as if it had been filmed by Greengrass himself. Not only was the film expensive, but you can really see it was. And that’s despite the fact that sometimes it feels like the camera was attached to a merry-go-round or a rollercoaster. But that actually serves a point as well. It amplified the atmosphere in order to make the viewer think as if they were really on the rig with the rest of the actors. And there’s no doubt the authors managed to achieve that effect. I was as confused as a forest bee and the only thing that could put me to a similar level of confusion that Mark Wahlberg experienced on the screen was the series of explosions, which I could survive through a certain coincidence. The only reason I didn’t give the movie a five-star review was that there is not a single character the viewer could really identify with or root for and that’s despite the fact that Mark Wahlberg, Kurt Russell and John Malkovich all put in absolutely excellent performances. Mark actually puts in a standard patriotic performance, whereas Kurt and John are trying to compete for the worst American accent and the best acting performance. And they both succeed. At the end, you get a smaller load of traditional American patriotism, which on the one hand is terribly obvious, but on the other hand, I actually don’t hold it against them. The afterword is pointless, but it’s necessary for American viewers. Other than that, it was great… or rather terribly sad. The more money we have, the more liberties we are ready to take with our mother Earth. The question is how much longer this can go on…

The working class has never been as poignant and likeable as performed by Mark Wahlberg and Kurt Russell, and I'm almost sorry that the final photos of the bloated Texas rednecks break this illusion. Marxist jokes aside - Berg gives the performance of his life, when especially the first half of his smooth flow of dialogues, editing and manual filming goes by incredibly quickly. The ensuing fiery inferno is marked by disorientation in the frantic cadence of cuts and details (this could never happen to Paul Greengrass), but it is still a warm enough spectacle to enjoy the final collapse of an ordinary person (after Captain Philips, apparently a new mandatory character of civil disasters). DH is an ode to the common sense of ordinary people and a captivating spectacle, where Mark tames dinosaurs from the depths and Kurt fat eruptions from British Petrol. In my opinion, good, pure entertainment with clear limits.
