Review of 13 Hours

I've been wanting to see this. I thought the cast was interesting. Especially the idea of them putting John Krasinski in the lead of an action movie. Good for him for expanding his horizon. I had forgotten this was a Michael Bay movie. I wonder how many explosions he will have here. Need I say what his work includes seeing how he has some of the biggest movies under his belt. It's written by Chuck Hogan who wrote the excellent Ben Affleck directed movie The Town. With that being known I may be one of those who enjoys this one. "Payback is a bitch and her stripper name is Karma." Whoever came up with that is a genius lol. Early in the game and the tension is already building up nicely. Oh wow of course haha. Just a lot of set up going on now. I don't like this whole getting to know them having families. It's just going to be that much more heartbreaking if they die. Well we all knew that siege was going to happen. Damn this is some pretty intense stuff. That guy is such a tool! Wow did that guy just get torn in half by machine gun fire? I with Tanto. There are just way too many locals and some are just so suspicious. It really is hard to differentiate the bad from the good. Holy crap that guy's hands! There is some truly brutal action here and I love it. They must really think they are being sneaky. I have no words other than this just keeps getting more and more intense. It just has me completely hooked in. Holy hell that looks extremely painful! That is mad disrespectful man! The ending was pretty bittersweet. The tension this had was incredible. I never knew what would happen or what to expect. I felt the actors really took their people seriously and portrayed this real heroes well. I think this is Michael Bay's best movie in quite a long time. I mean he did many explosions, but they were the tamest they've been as well. He actually made it a bit more realistic which is good considering the source material. There were some things that made me get emotional like I knew would happen. I definitely recommend giving this a look.
