That (along with current political consequences) is reason enough why this story needed to be told. The courage on display and the charisma of those that serve comes across in a big way. It leaves the "why did this happen and who is to blame" for the viewer to decide. Without getting overly political, it informs the viewer of what happened in riveting detail.

The movie draws you in and makes you feel like you were there on that fateful night. Maybe the first act was a bit long as characters were established and maybe the over use of shaky cam early can be considered technical flaws but when a story is this well told and this well crafted, flaws like that fall quickly by the waste side. This includes the remarkable cast who each were superb in their roles. Expertly depicting the events surrounding those attacks with such tension and emotion is a credit to this film and those that made it. The premeditated, brutal attack in 2012 on two United States installations in Benghazi, Libya is a dark chapter in not only the war on terror but in U.S. American soldiers fight to protect the survivors of a deadly terrorist attack on the U.S. Maybe knowing the real life set up and cover up to these events helps elevate the appreciation of what hits the screen but the film holds up well even if a viewer is unaware of world affairs. 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi. This is a masterful film in almost every aspect and certainly in every way that truly matters.


I'm overwhelmed because no one could have known Bay had this movie in him as a director.

Amazingly, Michael Bay achieves true greatness with this effort. Telling this story needed to be done and done right.
