I went to see this on Thursday, January 14th, 2016, here in Vallejo, CA, at the CENTURY 14 VALLEJO, for the advanced screening at 7:10 p.m. in auditorium 5, 3rd row ( counting from the front ), 9th column ( counting from the right ). The price of admission was $11.25. And I bought a medium Buttered Popcorn ( $7.05 ), a Kernel Season's Ranch-flavored Popcorn Seasoning ( $1.50 ) and a medium upgrade ( $0.65 ) on a free small Powerade Mountain Berry Blast ( free on my movie-watcher e-mail reward coupon ).
Quickie Review: An American Embassy and a secret CIA base in Libya are attacked by Islamic radicals. With orders to "Stand Down," six former Spec Ops soldiers decide to take matters into their own hands.
The audience liked it and gave it a "Hands Clapper" ending.
I liked it as an Action Movie, and for nothing else! Go see this if you're into Action Movies.
Here are some things wrong in this movie: The US Military invented the World Wide Web to better coordinate their troop movements on the battlefield. So, why couldn't they fix on the enemy's position from the airport to rescue the embattled embassy personnel and the other US citizens? The firefight was well within a distance of about 75 yards/meters between the two sides. And the Spec Ops guys were shooting at the enemy from fixed positions. All the enemy needed was an "average skills" sniper or even a wannabe sniper to aim slightly above a muzzle flash to pick-off each of the Spec Ops guys one-by-one ( none of whom had a helmet on )--and no rifle scope would have been needed! In a battle, you need to identify yourself as a "friendly" a.s.a.p. or risk getting yourself killed by "friendly fire" ( such a cheap use of suspense, the tense stand-off scene )! Because of these glaringly obvious mistakes, I really think that Hollywood over-embellished the true story on which this movie was based on.

The US Ambassador was actually captured alive, raped and tortured for several hours before he was burned to death! Liberal Hollywood twisted the facts just to appease a certain someone.

Hillary can just kiss her presidential campaign goodbye, for all I care!
Quick, what do Libya, Syria and Iran have in common? None of them owed money to the IMF, according to what someone posted on the Internet! But things are changing. And not necessarily for the betterment of these countries, I'm afraid to say.
