Review of 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi (2016) by Ruby H — 01 Feb 2017

I love this movie, from beginning to end. The story is tragic but wonderful, because it clearly shows there are people who will stand and defend others because it is what they were made to do. All of the soldiers have families waiting for them.

Their family relationships, the camaraderie they share, their own moral code, these are special and keep the movie from just being about gunplay. The casting is excellent, the acting is great. I've seen the interview with three of the survivors, and the film depicts them perfectly.

Despite some people's interpretation of this film, it is very apolitical.
