13 Hours: THIS is What Difference it Makes

Combat Action. The true story from the perspective of the military contractors who rescued Americans in the terrorist attacks on the American embassy and CIA facility in Benghazi on 9/11 2012.

Woah. Michael Bay, you are forgiven of Transformers. In fact, all Michael Bay haters will have to stand down and admit that this phenomenal action movie is a well-told and entertaining story of American valor. No vain empty action, this is rich and full heroism. I think Bay is probably the only one who could get this movie made because no one can accuse him of political agenda in his filmmaking. He makes big action, and this is big action with a deep and human twist.

I guess other Hollywood directors couldn't find a way to spin the story to make it George Bush's fault.

It’s got a good hour and a half of excellent fight scenes. I wonder what they were fighting about?

A very good, high intensity movie, but it’ll really piss you off.

It was all I could do to keep from yelling “Hillary should be in jail!” at the end of the movie.

I am sure it is a great movie but I will pass. Some combat action scenes are just a little too close to home. American Sniper is about as much as I can handle.

Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama deserted their posts on the night of the Benghazi attack and went and hid in their bedrooms.

These are two big politicians. They knew that would look bad. They knew there should be photos of them on the phone doing everything they could to help the Americans in Benghazi.

But they ran and hid in their bedrooms.

That’s not bad be division making.

That’s abject terror.

What in the world would be so bad that it terrorized Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama?

They had surrendered to our enemies at Benghazi.

That’s why there was no retribution strike. Obama gave them his word that there wouldn’t be one.

Wife and I saw the movie this afternoon. She liked it. Said it was intense. The whole thing was just sad. Troops in airplanes waiting to take off...The clearance never came. Jeez, Zombie Land is right.

I saw it Friday night in a theatre just west of Portland Oregon. Sadly the theatre wasn’t even 1/2 full.

Great movie. Saw it yesterday and it made me spitting mad at that evil women who was Secretary of State. Such a worthless bunch of “leaders” we have—pure evil. But our men, the ones who serve and who retired but always serve, are awesome. What a great tribute to US mature, masculine men (for once).

BTW—That little phrase about the gods, was such a hippy, Buddhist little touch, it annoyed me. (I do get annoyed by things most people can ignore though). Would have been better if the man had a truly profound, rational quote by Milton or CS Lewis. But our culture has been so diluted with garbage faiths for decades -—but what the heck. The anti-Christian Hollywood can only go so far in portraying the Truth/God and I do give this a 5 star rating..

Saw it tonight. I keep wondering why Congress hasn’t called the survivors to testify. I would love to see the woman who tried to call in air strikes give an emotional testimony.

Perfect mini review.

I brought a 14 year old boy I'm mentoring. When the movie finished I walked to the nearest spot to sit and tell him the ugly facts behind the story.

Tell as many as you can that it is must see. It is an excellent, entertaining, yet disturbing movie. But also a great opportunity to spark discussion about the rancid hag trying to become the next president.

...and the current hag in office. If I had one question for the current candidates it would be, “Who will guarantee that Hillary and Obama spend the rest of their lives in prison for their roles in Benghazi?”

The CIA are not happy with this movie as the CIA Station Chief is portrayed as a clueless dolt. He may be exactly that, but I think that it’s more than likely that he is a metaphor of the unspoken leaders of the Administration. The message is clear to those who understand what really happened. The Hillary supporters will deceive themselves that this movie has nothing to do with her, just about some CIA bureaucrat.

Maybe they haven’t called the survivors because they don’t intend to do anything about this. The uniparty must survive intact.

..."but I think that it’s more than likely that he is a metaphor of the unspoken leaders of the Administration."

Wrong. Oz was my roommate and student of mine. He told me he was depicted faithfully and didn't try to make an overt political statement.

very good combat scenes... but they didn’t focus on the timeline enough. they mentioned once that POTUS was briefed, and dropped it. they showed gen hamm ordering jets be launched, but skip over the fact that they never showed... because he was relieved 30 seconds later (by who??)

one hour from go time, we should’ve had an f-16 buzzing the place. not to mention having predators crawling all over it.
