Michael Bay's '13 Hours' is a Skeptical Undertaking of the 2012 Benghazi Attacks

The book by Michael Zuckoff, 13 Hours: The Inside Account of What Really Happened in Benghazi is an up close account of what took place in Libya in 2012. When it was announced that director Michael Bay was in charge of the project, there was worry that this would be yet another over-produced movie from the director. And to no one's suprise, the film premiered to mixed reviews.

People have worked for years to forget his last attempt at a war film: Pearl Harbor. For Bay, casting known comedic actor John Krasinski, as lead in a war film was certainly, well, interesting.

The film sits at 58% on Rotten Tomatoes, where they sum up the film with, "The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi is a comparatively mature and restrained effort from Michael Bay, albeit one that can't quite boast the impact its fact-based story deserves."

According to IMDB, the synopsis for 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi, tells the story of Jack Silva (John Krasinski) a former Navy Seal turned CIA contractor leads a team of former military veterans turned contractors to hold off Islamic extremist until American defense aid arrives.
