Right up there with Blackhawk! or even Better! A must see movie!

Rating: 10/10 (26 May 2016)

I've never rated a film a 10 before, but this movie ticked all the right boxes. The script was first rate, the main characters were rounded and had depth and the action sequences were superb. It's a white-knuckle-ride from the first minute to the last! The tension never drops for more than a couple of minutes. It's graphic in parts, but not gratuitously so and I had no idea it was a true story, until the end, which made it all the more poignant. The bravery of these Americans is just incredible - one man in particular. No requisite Love interest I'm afraid, just their fellow Americans, which I found refreshing. This is a must see war movie. The story is well known, a gang of American soldiers and Seals are trapped and surrounded at a compound in Benghazi, repelling hundreds of armed Libyan fighters, whilst saving the lives of many people. There selfless actions are incredible. The acting is first-rate and the fast pace of the action is superb. I think this is right up there with Blackhawk Down.
