There are many iconic explosions and slow motions of Michael Bay in it, which are basically the cool backs of strong men. Since it is an adaptation of a real event, he uses a very objective documentary filming method to present it. But because the selected protagonists all look very similar, basically they are all beards, and I can barely distinguish who is who at first. When they were bombed to death, I was almost blind.
The whole plot is actually very simple: a group of retired SEAL mercenaries came to the CIA secret base in Benghazi. Unexpectedly, on the 9/11 anniversary, the embassy was attacked by extremists. They disobeyed the station's orders to rescue the ambassador, but the mission failed, and the existence of the station was exposed, so they had to go to the rooftop to defend the secret base until the reinforcements arrived and were rescued. 2 of the 6 protagonist mercenaries died.
The routines used are very traditional Hollywood, such as: tranquility before the storm, putting photos of family, wife and children in the body armor, standing FLAG will always be slapped in the face, and the protagonist's halo plus the blessing of sophisticated weapons and equipment can always win with less In many cases, individual heroism will always confront the collective system.
To say that the most eye-catching scene in the whole film is the dawn of the second day after the battle, when many veiled women and children come to the battlefield to identify the bodies of armed extremists who have been killed. In fact, who does not have a family, who does not have happiness, who is willing to take the initiative to provoke disputes.
