13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers Of Benghazi (2016)
2016 | Action, Drama
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.

I genuinely think this is one of the best movies I've ever seen. I'm a real sucker for 'based on a true story' films, especially when the content is so riveting and this film really hit the mark. This cast is phenomenal, each character had a purpose, had meaning, had heart. The plot is obviously so intriguing and it keeps you pulled in. You find yourself rooting for Spotlight throughout the film and you can feel how much each of these characters love the story, are passionate about the story, through the screen. And Mark Ruffalo? He was the stand out to me, no doubt. He has this screen presence that is unlike most actors I've seen. I love this film.

A normal story with an interesting King spin
This starts off this starts off as a normal and interesting tale of a wife escaping her abusive husband, but in true King style, it goes completely off the scale with its supernatural twist. In all honesty, I found some of the supernatural side a little too bonkers, but it is still an enjoyable read, albeit maybe a bit on the long side.
