Hillary Clinton Not Mentioned In New Film About Benghazi Attack

Lacking in nuance and occasionally plagued by corny dialogue, “13 Hours” is nonetheless a well-photographed, visceral action film, and a honest and fitting tribute to those secret soldiers. They first had to hire lawyers to get security clearances from the US government.

Director Michael Bay and several cast members, including John Krasinski and Pablo Schreiber, attended the premiere with several of the operatives the film is based on.

The actor, who we’re used to seeing wink at the camera as the charming and harmless Jim Halpert, buffed up to play the role of security contractor Jack Silva for the new Michael Bay-directed film 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi.

The men who were sent on a rescue mission say Michael Bay got their story right.

“13 Hours”, which will be released by Paramount on Friday, centers around the 2012 attack on the US consulate in Benghazi, Libya, which left four Americans, including the USA ambassador, dead.

Geist spoke about how surreal it was to be on set, watching the movie of his experiences in war brought to life.

“We tried to make you feel like you’re there”, he said Tuesday. On the 11th anniversary of 9/11, a hundred or so Islamist militia attacked the Benghazi diplomatic compound and, a few hours later, the Central Intelligence Agency facility nearby. 13 Hours, which opens over the long Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend, is showing the least traction in liberal areas of the Northeast and Northwest, according to those with access to prerelease surveys. “He said, ‘Thanks. You just cost me another $100,000.’ But they changed it”. In a much shorter interview, this time by Megyn Kelly, they stress that they are totally apolitical in their desire to tell and depict the attacks and response as they happened, implying that Bay’s movie is the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

“Every one of these guys and gals has a story, and sometimes it’s a little hard to draw the story out of them”, said Baney of upstate NY. “John saved my life”, Geist said. “I think when people say, ‘We support the troops, ‘ they think they know what they’re talking about”. He sees what he wants and you can tell a good leader by how he operates around the people he leads. “If you’re going to do something, you might as well be the best at it”.
