Realistic, gritty and gut wrenching.

Rating: 9/10 (7 February 2016)

Realistic, gritty and gut-wrenching. 13 Hours is one of 2016 better movies! What worked: Realistic characters. The security team is hard driven Alph males go getters which are proactive people. The security team characters have nothing to prove, but need to decompress guy in style fashion! We see how such tough guys just react during stressful situations, but crash when the adrenaline come down. One gets a feel for the people. The politics, and short sightedness of of government official creates tension and clashes with the security team emulates the realistic working environment of the C I A. The government-less state where the local security could be your enemy displays the difficulties and fears for the dangerous security mission. The ending where, 13 Hour's creates a realistic gritty portrayal of the secret soldiers who gut wrenchingly disobeyed orders and fought sacrificed saving many, but not the ambassador during the Benghazi attacks. What did not work: 13 hours gives little input or reason about the incompetence, and lack of actions resulting help not arriving. Maybe time constrains, or not knowing why, is the reason for 13 Hours lack of answers. I would like to read the book now and find out more. 9 out of 10. Best movie of this type scene the Hurt locker.
