Surprisingly good

Rating: 8/10 (27 January 2016)

To be honest, I did not have any inclination to see this movie. Why? The politicization of the event, the endless hearings, the attempting to place blame in places other than where it belongs, etc. Sick of it and didn't want to waste money to see what we've been hearing for the last four years. I was wrong. This film does not politicize the events of Bengahzi. Instead it tells the story of some of the people who were there. Mainly we follow a group of highly trained, highly experienced contract security professionals attached to a clandestine CIA compound not far from the US State Department compound. When the State compound is attacked the team at CIA wants to go help because they know the security force there needs help. But bureaucratic nonsense keeps them from aiding.
It is a good movie.
