- 13 Hours does a phenomenal job of recounting the September 11, 2012 attack on the U.S. compounds in Benghazi, Libya. Regardless of the politics surrounding the Benghazi attacks, the film does an excellent job of examining the events that led up to the attack, as well as showcasing the heroism of the men that fought to defend American citizens. It gives a moving glimpse into the experiences of U.S. military personnel and the realities of combat.
I was worried that the film would be diluted by political commentary, but it isn't. The politics surrounding the event are touched on briefly, but are by no means a prominent theme in the film. It keeps the focus on the men that fought bravely to defend the U.S. compounds and save lives. Wonderful film.- Fantastic
movie. I can stream this free thanks to Prime, but I'm picking up the
blu-ray cause I like voting with my wallet. And this movie deserves all
the positive votes it can receive.
Many would classify me as a hardcore conservative. Maybe I am. I believe in the Bible front-to-back, God first, family second, country third. I support our troops. Doesn't mean I condone every military action our nation is involved in, but the men and women on the front line- I support them. I want them all to accomplish their mission and then return home safe and sound.
This is a movie about those men. It shows their sacrifice, their courage, even their weakness (soldiers get scared too).
Love this movie. I don't consider it biased in anyway. Be that pro-conservative, anti-us-military, etc. It's a movie that focuses on the soldiers, tells their story. That's it. No political BS thrown in.
So freaking awesome. Watch this movie. It is amazing.
