First 1/2 of the movie was tense and tragic everything believable. Once the sad reality occurred all the oxygen got sucked out of the room. The movie just seemed to stall. I've never seen a crisis moment just feel so fake. No one was breaking a sweat, no one was collaborating, no one was reviewing the emergency ops. There were 3 more teams of divers who could have been shown to come up with a solution but they just sat there sulking. I'm sure during the real event the real folks were desperately trying to save their mate. This movie made a mockery of their accomplishment.
The acting was not bad but direction of the film sank to the bottom of the ocean. They don't even properly explain why they had to go down the manifold. They have to send men into the most dangerous jobsite to turn a nut with a wrench? If this manifold require any kind of adjustment wouldn't the engineers have taken that into account and allowed for remote adjustment? Seemed like the RAV could have done everything that was required of the divers and done so without risking their lives.
