Review of 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi (2016) by Spencer H — 05 Jun 2016

It has been years since we have seen a good Michael Bay movie. But now we have finally got something that can be put on the same pedestal as "The Rock" and "Bad Boys." Bay does such a good job with the source material that he has and creates something incredibly memorable, which is something that I never thought I was ever going to say about Bay.

There are some great performances from James Badge Dale and John Krasinski who throws away that 'funny guy' persona and becomes one of the coolest badasses in modern film. My only negatives are the fact that there are never any motivations given to the terrorists and that makes them expendable characters; the worst kind of characters in movies.

I don't like the fact that they never mention the politics involved, because this situation had a big impact on the politics in America moving forward. However, in the end, I really liked this movie and I hope that Bay will begin to do some more of these films.
