A generic film where the subject matter should have been handled better!

Rating: 5/10 (14 January 2016)

13 Hours: The secret soldiers of Benghazi is a film that recounts the 2012 attack on Benghazi that feels a lot like a run of the mill Michael Bay film.
Based off the book of the same name, The film recounts the events of September 11, 2012 when an American ambassador is killed by terrorists and a group of soldiers try to fight for their base.
The direction of Michael Bay feels like his typical blockbuster approach and it seems to be more action than substance and the cast seem to do a mediocre job with clinched acting and dialogue, The one thing the film does very well is the brutality of the attack that really represents what really happened.
Overall 13 hours would have been a lot better if the right director did the film but Michael Bay just doesn't seem like telling a real life event is his strong point. 5/10
