Peter Berg's track record as a director has more loop-de-loops than a rickety o'l rollercoaster.
Hancock had a solid first half that deteriorated into a forgettable second half,
Battleship was a complete misfire,
Lone Survivor I barely even remember apart from thinking it wasn't very good but then there was last Fall's
Deepwater Horizon, a taut, well-made disaster movie that actually showed some real craftsmanship in terms of creating tension on Berg's part. Was this a sign that he was finally becoming something more as a director, that o'l Peter Berg was about to really break out and become an auteur that would leave the shackles of
Battleship and
Hancock behind him?
