Poignant story in the middle of nowhere

Rating: 7/10 (26 October 2017)

Nothing better than a movie based on a true story. Certainly when it is about a delicate subject as this one. I'm not going to debate on the necessity of the USA being at war forever since they exist because that is a pointless debate since almost the whole economy of the USA turns around war. Oil and weapons are the major incomes so they will continue going to war with the countries they can see benefits coming from. And no it's not about ending dictatorship or stopping terrorists, they couldn't care less about those things. There are enough dictators and human disasters in Africa where you don't see anybody doing something about it because there is nothing to gain from. 13 Hours though, is a strong movie about a handful of soldiers left alone in the middle of a hostile territory, because there is basically nothing to gain from. It's a poignant story showing the soldiers doing anything they can to save some American civilians. The acting is very good. The action and combat scenes look all very realistic. I truly enjoyed this war movie while it's normally not really the kind of movie I go for.
