    EXCELLENT Movie. Great actors. Felt like I was right there in Benghazi! What a terrible place to be! Our military are very well informed, VERY Smart, fit guys with LOTS of stamina. HIGHLY recommend this movie. Just knowing this is a true story, is a REAL eye opener for civilians.

    Two key things about this movie are 1. it is a realistic portrayal of events on the ground and of the main characters as the movie was produced in very close consultation with the survivors who have stated that for a movie it is a impressively realistic. Second, the movie back-story shows the passivity and dithering that occurred as a result of Obama's and Secretary Clinton's foreign policies that the mainstream media glossed over at the time. While I have read many accounts of the incident and also Clinton's account in her autobiography, I was surprised at how extended the fighting was and how close all the Americans came to being wiped out. The movie also portrays well the professional fighting effectiveness of the Americans. The closing scene shows the widows of the Islamist combatants going through battleground post-conflict searching for their fallen husbands.

    I like war moves but: this one took its time to get started, and the actual soldiers were private contractors who CHOSE to be in that fight for the reasons they didn't understand themselves. At the end of the movie the character played by Krasinksky says, 'What am I dong here? I don't care about this country (Libya). I have 3 kids at home!" So, the theme/topic of the movie is U.S. private security contractors in Libya; and the idea/message is exactly what? "All the Gods are within you"? in the words of another character? It's a so-so movie with a slow plot and confusing message... I only gave it 3 stars, because I enjoyed seeing big cal guns in action.

    Watch this movie and see the real results of Hillary and Obamas way of watching out for American lives. Our lives mean NOTHING to them.

    What a story, although a bit long in telling. A true story hard to grasp.

    Terrible! While watching it, imagine "We love war!", "We love war!" chanting in the background. Tired of this american propaganda.

    I think they tried to tell the true story. I'm proud we have men like them who were willing to help.
