Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
pantagruella This is a superb war film which follows the course of events exactly, recording the exact fatalities and injuries. The original weapons were used.This is a great action film with a likable cast of authentic America heroes. I don't like films where there are American casualties but that is a minor criticism.I don't like films which show foreigners in a good light so this film suits me. All enemy combatants are shown as cowardly primitives who were just looking to loot pockets.They could have let the audience know in which country the film was set. Why did the US have an embassy in such a basket case of a nation anyway.I liked the fact the mercenaries were all decent family men unless their Arab opponents.In the end all the bad guys were killed easily and America won the day.
bgi-57519 "Things change fast here in Benghazi." Jack Silva (Krasinski) has just been reassigned as a guard for the US diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya. What starts off as a routine assignment changes on September 11, 2012. When a group of insurgents breach the Embassy and attempt to kill the US Ambassador, Jack and his group of 6 have to make a decision. Follow orders and stay away, or disobey their commander and go help their fellow soldiers. I was looking forward to watching this, but I was also a little worried at the same time. The story is interesting and somewhat controversial and is a perfect idea for a movie, but it was directed by Michael Bay. For that reason I was expecting a lot of special effects and explosions and didn't think he was the director that should be in charge of this story. I'm not ashamed to admit that I was wrong. This is a realistic war movie that doesn't embellish the drama or actions, mainly because the story didn't need it. The movie is not political at all and mainly focus on the soldiers decisions. I liked it more than I expected to. Overall, not just a surprisingly good Michael Bay movie, a good movie period. I give this a high B+.
masurra If you have seen a few other films by Bay it becomes evident after a while he showed trremedeous restraint probably of respect to the subject and these courageous men. Actually the more Michael Bay films you have seen the more you appreciate this one. I wish he could have cut down a little on the artificial light-effects and some cheesy dialogue but compared to his other films it's a minor thing. Great acting all over the board, great cinematography and style, he uses shaky cam only when it's appropriate. Regardless of what some people say on Fox News etc. this is not an anti-Hillary movie this is about courageous americans and their initiative, their act of patriotism and sacrifice for their fellow countrymen in peril. This is a worthy and honorable salute to them.
frejbabes About time this project was done showing how much Clinton just did not care. A drama documentary of a high order.
