Only in America would they fabricate hero worship out of this sad event. Wouldn't a more interesting and honest film have told the story of the aftermath, destruction, and mountains of litigation? We truly are dumbing down as a nation. Rant over...

documentary (still waiting on the definitive one). There were real heroes that day, their story deserves telling. Don't mean to slag on you. Of course, the aftermath is THE tragedy, 11 lives lost on the rig not withstanding.

to help fix all the wrongs they ended up doing.
Really though, those were hard working folk on that rig and I would imagine THEIR story
(if properly told) has nothing to do with dumbing down. Fabricate? Heros don't all wear capes and masks.
People died.
I doubt the film is any sort of diversion from the horrible aftermath either.
It may in fact inspire young(er) folk to keep in mind what transpired, follow
the ensuring process' and possibly get involved in some aspect of helping to
keep similar situations from happening again.
But then I'm an optimist.

are disturbing for myriad reasons, the exploitative aspects high on the list.

At least now they feature quality actors and top production values.

Excellent points- MaxwellP
the story needed to be told in one fashion or another. Those of us here on the Gulf were not happy over the things BP did to cause that disaster.
A damn shame overall.
