13 Hours Review


Director Michael Bay's 2016 film 13 Hours is the story of the September 2012 attack on American compounds in Benghazi, Libya. The film follows a security team that is stationed in Benghazi to protect the C.I.A. members stationed in a covert base. During the course of there stay a new U.S ambassador, played by Matt Letscher,  is stationed in Benghazi and the security team now is split between protecting the C.I.A and the ambassador.
The movie relies heavily on pathos by showing us the families of the security team, from children to wives and even a dog, this movie wants an emotional response. However, this film doesn't want us just to cry or get angry it also wants the audience to understand what exactly happen in Benghazi during those 13 hours in 2012, and at that is succeeds. If you have not seen this film not only do I highly recommend it I believe it is your patriotic duty to do so.
