Review of 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi (2016) by Joseph F — 06 Mar 2016

This is 'based' on real events. A more accurate description is this movie is a PR orientated 'retelling' of events. What was allowed to happen in Benghazi was despicable. This movie presents the version of events that you are supposed to remember, not wat happened. It does not go into WHY the situation occoured but paints a very simple minded 'righteous good guy vs 1 dimensional evil bad guy' mentality.

Michael Bays directing style, as always, is akin to a guitarists solo that gets out of hand and goes for far too long whilst the rest of the band onlooks in dismay. The guitarist gets lost playing to himself for pure self gratification rather than playing his guitar to appeal to an inteligent audience.
