Trapped in foreign territory

Hollywood director, Michael Bay, known for films like Pearl Harbour, Transformers film series, is at it again with 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers Of Benghazi. If you enjoy political, terrorist-cum-military war films like Black Hawk Down (2001), The Hurt Locker (2008), American Sniper (2014) and Lone Survivor (2013) then you may definitely marvel 13 Hours. 13 Hours is a 2016 American biographical war film based on Mitchell Zuckoff’s 2014 book 13 Hours, which detailed the September 11, 2012 and Benghazi attacks.

The film follows six members of a security operator’s task force known as G.R.S (Global Response Staff) made up of former special forces who fight to defend the American diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya after waves of terrorist attacks. This group of six men went beyond the call of duty, performing extraordinary acts of courage and heroism, to avert tragedy on a much larger scale. This is their personal account, never before told, of what happened during the 13 hours of the now-infamous attack. What’s so cool about this film is how Michael Bay recruited relatively unknown actors and buffed them up to look tough. The G.R.S operatives look stone tough with beards like true mercenaries.
