The film starring the charming and talented John Krasinski, 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi, has been receiving rave reviews from Netflix viewers. This intense 2016 movie, based on Mitchell Zuckoff's book of the same name, tells the story of six brave American soldiers who risked their lives to defend the American diplomatic compound in Libya. Directed by Michael Bay and with a script by Chuck Hogan, the film features an impressive cast including Krasinski, James Badge Dale, Pablo Schreiber, Max Martini, David Denman, and Dominic Fumusa.
Despite its star-studded cast and powerful storyline, the film did not perform as well as expected at the box office, grossing only $69 million against a budget of $50 million. It also received mixed reviews from critics, with a 51% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. However, since its release on Netflix, it has gained a whole new following, with many fans dubbing it the "best movie" they have ever seen and praising the emotional performances of the leads.
In fact, some fans have even watched the movie multiple times, each time getting emotional and caught up in the intense action and heart-wrenching story. Ayafluffyclouds described it as the "best action movie they'd seen in a minute" while PresYaStraata gave it a perfect 10/10 rating. For those who haven't yet seen it, there is a strong recommendation to do so, as it is described as "unreal" and a "must-watch" by many Netflix users.
Despite its intense and emotional nature, the film also has a personal significance for Krasinski, who comes from a military family. In an interview with Screen Rant, the actor revealed that he has always wanted to be a part of a project like this, and that this story in particular was important for him to tell. He also expressed his shock at not knowing much about the events that took place in Benghazi, despite being an avid news and newspaper reader.
Krasinski also addressed the misconception that the story of Benghazi is purely political, stating that the events depicted in the film are based on true events and reflect what really happened that night. This eye-opening perspective has resonated with many viewers, and has led to the film gaining a whole new level of popularity since its release on Netflix.
So for those looking for an action-packed, emotional and thought-provoking film, 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi is definitely worth a watch. And for those who have already seen it, it may be worth revisiting for its powerful story and exceptional performances. It is currently available to stream on Netflix, so grab some popcorn and get ready for a thrilling and moving experience.
