Reviews:

If you fancy yourself a big swingin’ dick yank, then I’d recommend you watch _13 Hours_, but of course, you already have.

I can move past the xenophobia and jingoism pretty easily, even the typical Bay tropes don’t ruin a movie for me, but what I find difficult to abide is boredom, and with _13 Hours_, I personally found that in spades.

Though it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense, though I didn’t care about any of the characters, and though I am giving this film a negative review, I can still say it’s Michael Bay’s best work in years.

_Final rating:★★ – Definitely not for me, but I sort of get the appeal._

> In an unfriendly environment they got 13 long hours to survive and resist the attack.

It is an action-thriller-war version of the ‘Argo’. Based on the true story where the most of the film was the 13 hour long armed battle event took place in Libya, 2012. I remember the middle-east’s protest over the western films, this story is set in the same time when the islamic terrorists targeted the American diplomatic compounds in Benghazi, but six brave men stood and fought against the uprising.

It is an American patriotic film, but because of the hatred over their own countrymen Michael Bay, they’re surely missing a nearly a war masterpiece. The rest of the world saw it as a fine film and appreciated that. If you haven’t seen it yet, I say just don’t ignore it. It was a well made realistic war film, the actors were amazing and the scenes were suspenseful to spectacular. Definitely one of the best in this theme.

It was simply focused on the armed conflict between the two forces, so it won’t reasons out us how and where it all began, because that might take another film to tell the tale. That’s really a very clever writing. In this 150 minute long film, the first act was full of characters and story development. Then begins the gun fight that commences from the dust hours till the dawn breaks out. With many twists in the narration during confrontation, surely not a film to be missed.

8/10

Don’t Pay Attention to the One-Star “Reviews”…
I first saw this film when it opened back in January, 2012. While it’s not a “great” film by any stretch, it is a solidly good one. It is also Michael Bay’s most *RESTRAINED* film (which isn’t saying much, but it’s a FAR cry better than the last four Transformers films).

But, getting to the title of my comment, when I went back and watched this film for the second time (today, February 16, 2019), I felt compelled to pull up IMDb on my phone during the viewing and I checked out some of the user reviews. I found one thing shockingly in common among all of the one-star “reviews”:

Not a single one of them had any knowledge of the events of the true incident! And it was painfully obvious that they could not have been bothered to do a little research before making their inane comments public. Many did not know the name of the militant group that attacked the compound (Ansar al-Sharia), and just randomly decided that it must be ISIS. Some felt that it was a condemnation on Hillary Clinton and her actions/lack of actions as the events unfolded (there was not a single mention of Secretary Clinton throughout the entire film, good or bad). One did not even understand why the name of the film is “13 Hours” (seriously, did they even bother to actually WATCH the film before adding their “thoughts” in a blatant effort to only try to bring down the rating percentage?)!

Is the film accurate? Of course not. When a movie is based on a true event, dramatic license is and ALWAYS has been used to make the film more compelling to viewers. And say what you will about Michael Bay’s films, but the guy can masterfully direct action set pieces; each one expertly realized to get the viewer’s heart pumping. Here, he does it again and again. Or, more accurately, two straight hours after the first bullets start flying to the bitter end.

It’s not a definitive history lesson on what actually happened, but it is decidedly riveting and Bay’s most mature film to date. One can only hope that now he’s left the directorial duties of the abyssmally and increasingly brainless “Transformers” franchise to other people, maybe we can start getting more films like this from him so people can remember what he is actually capable of when he gets material to work with that he takes seriously and treats it as such.

Best military thriller to come out of Hollywood in a long time
13 HOURS is an exemplary true story war thriller set in Benghazi in 2012, where a number of US contractors working for the CIA found themselves under siege by an army of Libyan militants determined to destroy outside influence in their country in the aftermath of Colonel Gaddafi’s demise. The film follows a siege scenario as various tough, trained figures attempt to defend two separate compounds from the murderous militants, and despite a lengthy running time this is never less than edge-of-the-seat great. The real surprise is that it was directed by Michael Bay and is far and away his best movie, head and shoulders above his usual bombastic flag-waving silliness. This goes for taught realism throughout and has some wonderful action set-pieces which utilise amazing sets, effects, and camerawork to put the viewer into the heart of pitched gun battles and the like. Intensity is the keyword here and as such the running time absolutely flies past. I can’t recommend this enough; it’s the best action-based modern-day military thriller I’ve seen since BLACK HAWK DOWN and is of a similar quality.
