Wow, how did it take me this long to watch this movie? I am a complete failure since I just finished it and now rate it in my top 5 favorite war movies of all time. Well done Mr. Bay, you are better than Transformers! So the question is, "how many bullets does it take to mow down an entire country of crazy, rebel psychopaths with a never ending arsenal? Not enough apparently. This movie is based on the true story of a group of military contractors hired to secure a secret CIA out post in Benghazi while offering support to a make shift temporary embassy down the road. Well as you can imagine in a failed society that is like a pressure cooker, things go awry. Many people have called this movie an anti American political movement blaming Hilary Clinton for the lack of military support to help these soldiers out. Others call it a blame game by throwing the Republican lead of the House of Representatives under the bus. I say they should shut the fuck up until they know what they are talking about. Life isn't a movie, you cant just make a quick call to the Commander in Chief and say, "Hey we need some air support in this 3rd world country in the next 10 minutes." The movie was outstanding, exciting, great action that didn't have the cheese effect, and the writing was awesome. I think it portrayed the rough-neck lingo pretty well even if it did have some Hollywood mixed in. Watch this movie, it is awesome. And damn, Krasinski from The Office must of got his hands on some serious steroids!
FYI: The real life "Tanto" lives in Nebraska as an Insurance Adjuster.
