13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi (2016) is a solid war film from infamous director Michael Bay. I don't love or hate Micheal Bay. I dislike a majority of the movies he puts out. His movies are loud, dumb and overblown, but at least they entertain. Going into this movie, I was very intrigued to see how Michael Bay would handle the subject matter. The 2012 attack that killed a U.S. ambassador in Libya has become a very controversial and politically driven subject matter. Does Michael Bay create a very thought provoking political war film? No. Does Michael Bay create an entertaining war film with some great action? Yes. '13 Hours' has great action grounded in realism. Every action sequence is believable and exhilarating. The actors in the movie do a solid job, and there is certainly chemistry between them. My biggest problem with the movie is that it just oozes with all the stereotypes found in every Michael Bay movie. Unnecessary slow motion, out of place humor,etc. While this is certainly one of Michael Bay's best films, it still suffers from the same problems as his other movies do.'13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi' is entertaining, but it has more things going against it than for it.
