Michael Bay delivers a intense, mature thriller that pays tribute to fallen soldiers
13 HOURS is Michael Bay's best movie in years. After a decade of directing 4 Transformers movies (directing another one in 2017). Bay takes time out from giant CGI robots to do an intense Benghazi thriller that's based on a true story. Many are maybe unsure of Bay directing another film based on a real life event (PEARL HARBOR and PAIN & GAIN) but here he delivers a visceral, intense, mature thriller. Yes this is his most mature movie ever, with subtle humour that's not over the top. The movie completely avoids politics and doesn't mention Hilary Clinton or Barack Obama, but Bay's main goal was to feel as if your there with these soldiers in Benghazi and he succeeded at that. The action will have on the edge of your seat, some shaky cam at time, but still intense. The film's ending has emotional tribute to the real life brave soldiers who lived the attack and those who have fallen. If you love or like AMERICAN SNIPER, BLACK HAWK DOWN, ZERO DARK 30, LONE SURVIVOR and THE HURT LOCKER you'll enjoy 13 HOURS. The film is also shows that Michael Bay knows how to tell a great story, with characters you care about.
