Review of 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi (2016) by Bruce W — 20 Mar 2017

Having simply stumbled across this movie while channel surfing I was, at first, just surprised to see John Krazinski in something outside of The Office. So I settled in for a popcorn military flick that's probably like many other that came before.

And it was, but in the sense that, to me, it portrayed the events, heroism and sacrifices of these men wonderfully. I wasnt fully aware of the actual incident and I understand some dramatic licence will have been used but this was an eye opening, guys not afraid to cry, auctioned packed belter.

Ok so it may not have been on par with Lone Survivor or Amierican Sniper (There were a few shots that I found a little lacking and maybe cheesy) but all in all an excellent movie that I'm glad I found if only to have learned the names of the heroes involved.
