Film Fanatics: Disaster on the ‘Horizon’ and learning by way of invading

Written by Film Fanatics
October 7, 2016

REVIEW — Mark Wahlberg and Kurt Russell star in “Deepwater Horizon,” a harrowing true story directed with nail-biting intensity by Peter Berg. The film traces the moments leading up to and following an offshore oil rig explosion that occurred in 2010. Does this epic dramatization dig deep, or does it fail to bring the heat?

Also on this episode of “Film Fanatics,” Bruce Bennett and Adam Mast give you “Moore” by way of a look at the playful and thoughtful new documentary “Where to Invade Next.” Does one of our most polarizing documentarians bring the insight, or does his latest get crushed under the weight of its own self-importance?
