Rijndri Load of rubbish!!
Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
Iseerphia All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.
Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Emilio Gelado Michael Bay only knows how to make a movie. The film focuses on the characters, but they do not feel like real people nor do they have dialogues that are not slogans. They reduce the Libyan situation to good and savior Americans, poor and savage Arabs.
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+.
rupak_speaking The first part I found a bit slow, but you can't take your eyes off the action once it all starts. An authentic take on the real time events of 11 September 2012 at Benghazi, Libya, a thumbs up to yet another Hollywood flick based on American presence in some war-ravaged part of the globe, almost all of them are good. 7/10
