An intense movie that will keep you on your toes. Great acting, great script, immersive camera work and music, believable characters.This movie has it all for its genre. Not for the faint of heart, but a truly, truly fantastic film.

13 hours is an amazing portrayal of what happened in Benghazi. It gets out what happened and honors the many lives lost.

The film accounts the real incidents related with the waves of terrorist attacks happened at an American diplomatic compound at Benghazi in 2012. The first half of the film feels too slow paced and the build up towards the climatic incidents portrayed are not exciting either. But, the bright side here is that this film would never exhaust you from beginning to the end eventhough, the running time is so unnecessarily expanded with a couple of unwanted confusing plot points which I wouldn't mention here. But ,overall this film complies with its source material and genre and delivers the story in a compelling way.. This could have been a much better movie if it's not for those few plotholes and the running time which might exhaust you if you are not really into watching war films.

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
