Surprisingly Good
18 March 2023
First off everybody, judge the movie for what it is and not what it isn't! It's not a deep dive look into the Benghazi debacle from a sociopolitical standpoint. It's not particularly interested in trying to present a detailed overview of the Libyan situation or which political party was responsible for what. Yet even most of the critics reviews couldn't seem to face that fact. It's not even as nuanced as Black Hawk Down; but what it IS is the story of the military operatives who took action that night. It is from their point of view almost exclusively and tries to recreate the hell they went through. And it does this surprisingly well! Unlike Bay's Transformers garbage it is not over edited to the point of ridiculousness, nor is it dumb and lame. It is an excellent action film full of intense sequences and believable characters. And that's all it intends to be!
