As Good As It Gets
I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
Michael Bay only knows how to make a movie. The film focuses on the characters, but they do not feel like real people nor do they have dialogues that are not slogans. They reduce the Libyan situation to good and savior Americans, poor and savage Arabs.
13 hours is an amazing portrayal of what happened in Benghazi. It gets out what happened and honors the many lives lost.
The first part I found a bit slow, but you can't take your eyes off the action once it all starts. An authentic take on the real time events of 11 September 2012 at Benghazi, Libya, a thumbs up to yet another Hollywood flick based on American presence in some war-ravaged part of the globe, almost all of them are good. 7/10
Telling this story needed to be done and done right. Amazingly, Michael Bay achieves true greatness with this effort. I'm overwhelmed because no one could have known Bay had this movie in him as a director. This film was like call of duty modern warfare with the night time battles with night vision googles. This film is a street warfare protect American land and a secret that nobody knew. Its two hours and 18mins and it's up there with war films at there best. It's riveting and exhilarating its like America last stand at the Alamo but modern, When everything went wrong six men had the courage to do what was right . you won't forget this film in 13 hours the secret soldiers of Benghazi they follow C.I.A personnel and ex military operators who fought back against the rebels who had wages battles to save lives. this film makes your heart race its so gritty puts you in the battle and and seeing the four walls and the soldiers on the roof of the embassy under attack from rpgs and suicide bombers and protecting the place against all that the imagery is brilliant and the graphics are so amazing. 10/10 surprised i wasn't expecting this kind of film
