Riley S Maybe not perfect to some people, but I loved it. It had a good mix of action, story telling, and emotional aspect. I really felt connected to the characters and what they had to go through.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/12/24 Full Review Parker P It felt like every character was trying to “outman” each other, and the action scene was as exciting as one of those zombie mobile game ads. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/05/24 Full Review David C 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi is a powerful and gripping film that deserves a 4.5-star rating for its compelling portrayal of the harrowing events that took place in Libya in 2012. The film excels in its intense action sequences, realistic depiction of the chaos and danger faced by the security team, and its respectful treatment of the true story it is based on. The performances, particularly by John Krasinski and the ensemble cast, bring a raw, emotional depth that captures the courage and sacrifice of those involved. One of the most significant aspects of 13 Hours is its importance in highlighting the reality of what happened during the Benghazi attack. The film does not need to resort to overt political commentary or finger-pointing to convey the frustration and helplessness felt by the men on the ground. Instead, it effectively uses the lack of timely support and the confusion surrounding the chain of command to illustrate the consequences of bureaucratic indecision. This approach has made the film a target for partisan critics who find it uncomfortable that the administration is portrayed in a negative light, not through explicit condemnation but through the articulation of their inaction. While some may argue that the film could have delved deeper into the political ramifications of the attack, 13 Hours wisely focuses on the human element, making it an emotionally resonant and impactful experience. It serves as an important reminder of the bravery of those who serve in dangerous situations and the complexities of international crises. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/01/24 Full Review Brian D 86%. 6/30/24. Michael Bay film based on a true story where the Ambassador is killed in Libya and the locals find and attack the covert CIA base that the Americans need to defend and hold off until reinforcements come. Thrilling film. Didn't quite love the dynamic of the story but very exciting. 5/5 rewatch Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/02/24 Full Review Norm S A must watch.
