Working on regs affecting offshore drilling. Yeah, I know, it was a movie. But the continuous scene showing the operator taking report near the beginning is telling, as is the pressure testing. It's the only movie with Mark Wahlberg that has kept me engaged. 11 people died from the fire and explosion, and hiundreds of thousands of lives were ruined by the oil spill.
