A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

This film tells the 13 hours of intense attacks that an American compound endures in Libya.This film is really intense. There are intense battles right from the beginning, and the the intensity of each battle escalates dramatically. There is no one to call for help, no one they can trust, and every where is surrounded by hostiles. The story is thoroughly captivating. The ending is tear jerking as well. It evokes a lot of emotions in me. This film is a rare film that makes gun battles intense, and makes you feel for the characters.

13 hours is an amazing portrayal of what happened in Benghazi. It gets out what happened and honors the many lives lost.

I was riveted, spellbound by this, watching what I have read come to life on the screen. "Powerful people" tried to stop the distribution of this film and I can see why. There is even one or more bad reviews because it shows a truth that the Progressive Liberal Stalinist Democrats want to hide, that a whole bunch of Americans were in a war zone, not some peaceful place as we were told, and that they were improperly supplied, poorly secured, and there was no backup for them. Also, that there was either the biggest screwup in intelligence since Pearl Harbor, or the Secretary of State ignored it to save a couple bucks. Security should never be left to an organization like the February 17th Martyrs Brigade, who not only knew of the attack and ran away, but some were identified through surveillance photographs as part of the assault force.The film also exposes the idea that the attack on 9/11/2012 was a spontaneous event resulting from a demonstration about some anti-Islamic film. It was obviously a well planned and coordinated attack carried out in waves. That is obvious by the accuracy of mortars used and availability of heavy machine guns. In closing, never forget J. Christopher Stevens, Sean Smith, Glen Doherty, and Tyrone S. Woods. In addition, do not forget the wounded and the rest who lived through that hell. And never forget that neither Hillary Clinton nor Barack Obama have ever publicly apologized or accepted responsibility for putting them in that situation and failing to act to defend them. And never forget that Ambassador Stevens' itinerary in a hostile area was transmitted in an email on an unsecure server by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

If you have seen a few other films by Bay it becomes evident after a while he showed trremedeous restraint probably of respect to the subject and these courageous men. Actually the more Michael Bay films you have seen the more you appreciate this one. I wish he could have cut down a little on the artificial light-effects and some cheesy dialogue but compared to his other films it's a minor thing. Great acting all over the board, great cinematography and style, he uses shaky cam only when it's appropriate. Regardless of what some people say on Fox News etc. this is not an anti-Hillary movie this is about courageous americans and their initiative, their act of patriotism and sacrifice for their fellow countrymen in peril. This is a worthy and honorable salute to them.
