Unexpectedly it's a Michael Bay film with heart and a plot...and it's riveting, focused and engrossing story of special Ops defending a base from overwhelming odds in Libya.
The action is hyper realistic as last minute decisions are being made which If incorrect could have resulted in more deaths than there were.
Effects are on point and as expected from Bay explosions lead the way, but this time not at the expense of the storyline.
I expect Michael Bay had to throttle back his usual enthusiasm so that this true story wasnt suffocated and he does uncharacteristically fine job.

Solid biopic detailing the last years of the celebrated war correspondent Marie Colvin, including visits to Sri Lanka, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and Syria. To some extent it constitutes a catalogue of recent sources of liberal shame, and there are moments when the film threatens to become sanctimonious, trite, and portentous, but the performances from Pike and Dornan are strong and keep it authentic.
Obviously the film is about the role of war correspondents and the role they play in our society, but the film also works on a more personal level, about what exactly it was that drove someone like Colvin to put her life in danger time after time. If it never quite gets to the bottom of this, that's probably excusable as she herself probably couldn't have said. A serious, well-made film.
