Unsurprisingly this is very 'MURICA! but it's also genuinely well-made, with Bay at his most restrained (which is to say that there's only a handful of gratuitous slow motion, sweeping camera angle scenes). It's such a relief to see action sequences shot by someone who actually knows where to stick a camera and doesn't resort to accursed shaky-cam at every instance, and the film does a superb job of conveying the sheer chaos of a crisis military situation in a foreign country where it is impossible to differentiate between friend and foe. This being said I could have done without the utter contempt that the film has for everyone who isn't a soldier with a gun. It's bizarre to see a movie with almost religious revenance for people who serve their country in one way but such disdain for people who serve their country in other ways. 8 years 4 months ago

Reality-based war drama from the Arab Spring in Libya, exciting. Krasinski is really good. 3 years 7 months ago

Much better than expected. Bay is not my favorite director but this was a solid war movie. A bit too long but overall well staged battle scenes and pretty good acting. 6 years 5 months ago
