With fast-paced editing, great cinematography, excellent cast choices, and Mike Bey's legendary pyrotechnics, we have a compelling look at a small group of "operators" who were too late to rescue Amb Stevens but ended up fighting for their own lives later.This film conveyed the "fog of war" perfectly with confusion, bad choices, and scarily not knowing who is really on your side. Chris Stevens loss is just one part of the action and we see no desecration of him as it was unknown to the operators during the timeline of the story.
This film manages to be as apolitical as possible by focusing on the individuals of the CIA team and not the ambassador's. I caught two sentences in the dialog that had implications without association. There is no political offenses within but the CIA jerk will certainly be remembered as the villain of Benghazi's death toll--a possible misdirection.
When I left my seat I glanced at my watch and was amazed at the time. This 144 minutes moves quickly with nary a moment to be bored. This is a "war film" and/or "brohood narrative" but not necessarily a historical account of Chris Stevens and the true motives of his death.
