The movie takes the perspective of a group of workers whose lives don't matter to a greedy, murdereous corporation like BP. That's true and fine, but the problem with these corporations is much larger and is killing way, way more people than the ones we see here.
None of that is adressed by the movie in any way. In fact, this might be the kind of anti-oil movie that a Trump voter would like: no pollution, no climate change, no capitalism as organized apocalypse machine (but we do have greedy incompetent bosses and a working class, that's something), instead, the scope narrows on the personal drama of the working man who is screwed by the company. And the spectacular "accident" itself.
It's an effective strategy for an entertaining movie, but unlesss I've missed something, this was a missed opportunity.
