Blockbuster director Michael Bay is tentatively off the radar from making alien robots fight each other in epic death duels. Still though, it's in films like his latest, 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers Of Benghazi, that he continues to illuminate the best image of military might, and here and now through the conception of Chuck Hogan's script based on the tumultous events that took place in Libya in 2012, and Mitchell Zuckoff's subsequent book in 2014.
There's no question to the divisiveness of the source material here: An American ambassador was killed and it led to an endless inquiry by our Congress with little to zero results, thus spinning into a mainstream media frenzy between party lines. Guaranteed however, as effective as these films are, 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers Of Benghazi looks very appealing in cinematic form with a cast led by John Krazinski, James Badge Dale, Toby Stephens and Max Martini, and a story that assure proper tribute to an important life lost at the core of this story.
SYNOPSIS:
