I saw "13 Hours" last week with my lady. I'm going to start this off by saying Michael Bay.
Okay, we all know what to expect and he delivers on his stereotypical explosions and yadda yadda yadda. This movie is basically the last 30 minutes of Zero Dark Thirty, but stretched over two hours and more explosion-y. I admittedly don't know much about Benghazi since I, to a fault, put my head in the sand about many newsworthy current events.
Now, if you take the movie for what it is...a story about the contractors that helped defend the CIA base in the area from an attack...the movie will entertain you. I don't really think I could detect any political commentary from the movie. It was basically the contractors' story and the events that unfolded during the attack.
If you like movies like Zero Dark Thirty, The Hurt Locker, American Sniper and Lone Survivor, you'll like 13 Hours. It just so happens to be at the bottom of the list containing those movies, which might not be a huge selling point.
Guns, pew-pew-pew, beards, machismo, ex-special forces lingo and catchphrases, and a rocked up Jim from The Office (along with one of the main characters from The Pacific and Pam's ex-boyfriend from The Office)...it was worth my gift card to the movies.
