A private user reviewed 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi (2016)
Review from the comment
13 Hours details the moments before, during and after the ISIS lead attack of the American embassy in Benghazi and a CIA comound on 9/11/2012. Four Americans lost their lives and a small amount of contractors ended up holding off a large number Islamic Terrorists before aid arrived.
13 Hours is an interesting film. Specifically, since it is directed by Mr. Hollywood, Michael Bay. He pulls off a pretty good breakdown of what happened without bringing any Transformer stupidity.
The cast, doesn't really have a headliner. However, John Krasinski gets top billing. I felt it was mostly an ensemble collaboration with Pablo Schreiber, James Badge Dale, David Denman, Max Martini and Dominic Fumusa merging pretty well together.
