I happened to see a sensible movie about people. I am from the north myself, so I understand some of the lack of flamboyance. I liked the acting, the editing. In general, the logic of the plot. There is no political background. The movie is not about the disaster itself, but about the people who suffer in it. If you compare it with my beloved similar movies 'Under the Sea' and 'Deepwater Horizon', there is no overt Americanism which strongly adds to the film's uniqueness. I felt the movie was made by Norwegians about their culture, their life. I lived in a similar place until I was 17, there is little emotion there, but a lot of love and warmth. I was pleased with the special effects, not flashy, adequate, on-topic. It is evident that the film received considerable funding and help from the military and drilling personnel. This adds credibility to the events. The drama is clear and canonical, so you empathize and feel it. I don't know if they added a strong woman to please trends, but there are plenty of strong men, too. Sometimes people just do their job and that alone makes you respect them. They could have stepped back, they could have been scared, but they just did the right thing. This is a very strong move of the film, it clings, it doesn't let go and there is a feeling that this film is life and I am watching it from a movie.
The love, the courage is shown very cool. Frequent companions of disaster movies are also shown, so as not to spoilery I'll put it simply - I believed everything. I had no sense of illogic.
I can recommend you to watch it when you want action, disaster, but everyone has already watched it.
