First of all-----salon. Second of all, yes it is a rundown of the occurrences of that day. But, then again, I'm sure the gentlemen that were there in the thick of it were all just lying like the families of the dead who "claim" that the administration blamed it on some ersatz internet video. And now claim "Video? What are you talking about? NOBODY ever said anything about a video. Susan Rice certainly never mentioned it." Right? Even funnier (not really) the author seems to think that faux news is some sort of conservative news network that still riles up a certain segment of America. It's now only slightly less BS that the rest of the msm.

Should Salon be preparing for the big blackout of the Oscars?

[Buckeye McFrog]

Perhaps if the movie was called "Hillary Clinton Is A Castrating Feminazi Who Reminds You Of Your Ex-Wife," it would have done a better job pulling in the target audience.

I'd get in line for a ticket to see that one right now.

[The All Knowing All Seeing Oz]

It’s a great, true film.

This is simply the radical far-left trying to save a drowning Hillary.

[struggle]

When it hits Wal-Mart on DVD in fall though...

[V_TWIN]

wow, this chick is buggin’ big time. You’d think she would be all giddy the flick doesn’t seem to be doing well but it all venom and insults. Libs really are very angry unhappy people in general.

We went to see a matinee last week; got there 30 minutes before showtime, and got two of the last four seats.

The ticket kid said this movie was by far their current biggie - and this is a dozen screen multiplex.

[Paul46360]

Or NO blacks coming out to the Oscars!!

Probably they’re missing out on the number one story for 2016 about #blkactorsmatter. But it’s still early in the year for anyone to be thinking ‘number one story of the year’. I think that’ll be in Novemeber.

Salon aside, I’ve read elsewhere that the movie wasn’t really directed very well and what could have been a very good movie isn’t.

Anyone seen this movie and if so, whaddyathink?

Got tickets for 3PM Show today at Parkway Pointe ATL.. Come join.

-Part of the problem might just be the movie itself. Perhaps if the movie was called “Hillary Clinton Is A Castrating Feminazi Who Reminds You Of Your Ex-Wife,” it would have done a better job pulling in the target audience.-

Boy, talk about a snotty attitude. lol

[who_would_fardels_bear]

It's up to $33 mil now, and has only been in the theaters 2 weeks.

Also, it's just now being expanded to more theaters and is taking in a respectable $3,000/theater.

It's also a Michael Bay film. There are certain people who generally like these types of movies that will not go near a Bay film because they consider him a horrible director.

[Tallguy]

The difference: the Left, which prides itself for being empathetic, can’t put away their political blinders long enough to identify with the military families.

[CPONav]

There is no need to watch this movie. We all saw what happened on the news. We have further seen and read why it ended up the way that it did. Why would I feel the need to watch?

[rktman]

Lack of self esteem and being a loser are sure signs of being a demoncrat radical extremist liberal left wing POS.

[skeeter]

An Academy Award notwithstanding, Hillary is still going down.

[UCANSEE2]

” But as it stands, the movie is just a rundown of the events that happened that day in Benghazi,...”

So, in other words, it’s a factual depiction of what happened, which is what everyone wanted to know about.

“... and not some expose on how the administration dealt with it or anything like that.”

BECAUSE.... we already know that part.

[Blood of Tyrants]

You said blackout, you racist!/s

Watched the interview with the 3 guys. Looks like from the previews that it pretty much matches their interview.
