Yeah, definite pass for me. Christ, I didn't even realize it was the same director who did Battleshit... that movie was utter garbage. Hancock was horrible, too.
Looks like the only decent movie he's done that I've seen is The Rundown. That one was kind of fun.

The hell is going on? Is Peter Berg and Mark Wahlberg having some kind of love affair because their surnames are similar? This the third movie "based on a true story" they've made in the last few years. Lone Survivor, Deep Horizon, Patriot's Day - it's getting so I can fall asleep in one movie and wake up in the next without realising I'm watching two different movies.
Ok alot of negativity towards this movie, and surprisingly very few comments on this thread.
I really enjoyed it, yeah ok we don't need a movie for every attack on the US or whatever but this story was done perfect. I did read there was alot of stuff left out or altered due to the "Holywood" factor.
Also chuffed this is not just a full on Mark Wahlberg film, alot of different aspects were done.
The interviews with the actual victims at the end was a nice touch, although I think they want you to remember this part more so you think the movie is a 10/10.
Enjoyable, Pulls at the heart strings,
9/10 for Discos

Hancock was great until the third act. Possibly the worst third act for a good movie in blockbuster history.
Haven't seen Deepwater Horizon, but I've heard generally good things, and of course I'm sure the technical aspects of sound and visuals are superb.
However, I think Lone Survivor was one of the best modern warfare movies made to date. The stunt work was incredible, and it helped immensely having Marcus Luttrell as the primary consultant for the film. He was even a cast member as well.
All that being said, as an audience member who holds Berg's filmmaking capabilities in a high regard, I have very little desire to see this movie.
