Review of 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi (2016) by Benjamin G — 08 Feb 2018
As a war movie, it's pretty solid. Ignore the critics who can't see past their own self importance long enough to enjoy a movie for what it is. The claims of political bias are BS, as the movie doesn't mention any of the key political figures in D.
C. What is presented is the events as they unfolded from the view of the guys who were there. That includes the frustration and confusion. Some critics and reviewers complain about the attackers being "2 dimensional" or a "faceless enemy.
" The fact is, that is how they would have been seen at the time by the defenders in the moment. They don't need to be anything more because the movie isn't about them or their reasons. It's about the operators who were there, their relationship with each other, and the odds stacked against them.
If you liked Black Hawk Down, you'll like this.
