A different Michael Bay movie.

Rating: 7/10 (6 June 2016)

So for a Michael Bay movie, this wasn't over the top with dumb jokes thrown in all over the place. This isn't a very intelligent movie that delves into the politics. However it does a good job of focusing in the on the characters and give them actual personalities that the viewers can connect with. The plot is about Private Military Contractor team that are stationed in ,Benghazi, Libya and take on tasks that deals with security. But things start to get horribly wrong when a army of Islamic militants that are angry start attacking. For a Michael Bay movie it doesn't focus in on just the explosions but he actually tried to make it a military movie with some pretty darn good action sequences in it. I thought it was odd to put a actor like John Krasinski as a military guy in a movie such as this. I thought the actor pulled it off pretty well. He had the balance of being a tall every day guy with common sense that is fit and built but doesn't constantly act like a butch robotic killing machine. Despite his experience in the military he doesn't come off like a typical military guy in movies that tries to act tough all the time and I liked that because it was refreshing. Overall I thought this was a well done movie worth a watch. Nothing amazing or anything like that but it's worth a watch. I would have given it a higher score if the build up was a bit more interesting. Instead of it being the typical military characters build up with them having families so the audiences can have more of an attachment with them.
7.3/10
