My mother died on 9/11 and that has made me very interested in Benghazi especially since it happened not only on another 9/11 but on the same day of the week as well (Tuesday). The part showing the four bodies waiting to be transported home breaks me up each time I see it both in sadness for their families and for the fact that I had no body to bury when it came to my mother. I rented the movie several times and finally bought a copy the other day. Remarkable movie!

"Libyan transport.... Still no Americans..." Imagine what the thought process is for that... Your country has not come to your aide after a 13 hour battle...after everything they just went through... Heartbreaking

Say what you want about Michael Bay but he deserves credit for this movie. He showed he's not all flash.

"Rone's not coming home..."...can't imagine having to say that...

"We get to go home." I love that. The guys are talking about medals and recognition. Jack sees that the real reward of surviving is seeing your wife and children's faces again. Medals don't matter. Both dead and living men can be honored with medals. Only the living can enjoy the loving embrace of a spouse or a child.

we get to go home...........then look at the bodies on the tarmac. Then you understand how powerful those 5 words are in this piece.

There are no winners in war. This movie showed that perfectly

In Loving Memory Of Ambassador John Christoper Stevens (1960-2012), Sean Patrick Smith (1978-2012), Glen Anthony “Bud” Doherty (1970-2012), And Tyrone Snowman “Rone” Woods (1971-2012).

I served in the Marines and a buddy of mine was on a QRF (quick reaction force) team in Germany who's sole purpose was to respond to situations like this. They spent those 13 hours on a tarmac in Germany, geared up and ready to go while their platoon commander fought and argued with some guy from the state department who seemed to just be stalling them so that they couldn't go. The guy kept telling the pilots that they weren't cleared to go, making the Marines change from cammies and civilian attire back and forth, lots of little bullshit things that didn't matter. When they were finally cleared to leave, they got word that the last survivors had just left on a flight and that possibly 4 or 5 people were lost. They went back to the armory, returned all the weapons and optics they'd drawn out, went back to the barracks, turned on the TV and watched the breaking news about the attack that they should've been at to help prevent from going as long as it did.

Still can't believe Michael Bay directed this movie. I'm very hard on his movies. But this was great.

The last scene with the burned out compound and the US flag in the ruined pool is heartbreaking. What happened was criminal, and none of the people responsible anwsered for it.

I cried with Jack in this scene. I promised my men that we'd all go home. This is personal for me.

John Krasinksi will make a great Jack Ryan. He has that "every man" quality.

Great acting by John Krasinski....the he didn't make it really hits hard.

"Rone's not coming home." Can't imagine how terrible it would feel on having to say that to your wife and to your best friends' wife after losing him... Man, that hits me real hard like a truck.

John Krasinski’s phone call is some of the best acting I’ve ever seen

One amazing fact about the events: The team that Glen was apart of was actually trapped in Tripoli, and they paid a pilot $30,000 to fly them to Benghazi, all to save their brothers in arms.

"I'm coming home ... for good" "...." "No .. I ... I'm just lucky" "He didn't make it" "Rone's not coming home" "I love you so much" Even though I'm not American nor did I ever serve in the military but this scene broke me especially when I watched the movie the 1st time. What sucks is that the ones who didn't make it back home 💔💔

One positive came out of this shit was the courage of Glen Doherty to get into Benghazi to help out those guys when somehow our govt couldn't do shit.What a remarkable,gutsy guy.Our govt will never do enough to repay Glen's family.If they've even done anything

I watched this in the movie theatre. I rarely cry to movies but this one had me in tears.

Damn. This movie was great in terms of Michael Bay staying true to what happened in the events and everything about this movie was amazing (the action, storyline), especially John Krasinski's transition from Jim (The Office) to Jack Silva. Would love to see Michael Bay make another solid flick like this and Krasinski appearing in another action movie. 10/10

The flag of the United States of America does not fly for free. Freedom should not be taken for granted. Thanks for those that have sacrificed their lives and time to defend the liberty and happiness of the US citizens and other people.

Rone is not coming home, that hit me

That's gotta hurt SO much. Imagine having a best friend who you would have by your side in combat, that got a call from his wife saying that they have a new born. Your friend then tells you, this is his last deployment before he goes back home. All the joyness of an infant, all the amazingness. Until, bad things happen, shots get fired and explosions happen. You get hurt on the floor and get unconcious, you wake up to know whats going on, You then think about family and close friends, you look straight to see a body, words fill your mind hoping that it isnt your best friend, you check on the body to find a pulse, nothing... You think about him, thinking about him not coming home to see his infant, his newborn baby. The pain hits you...

a small fun fact....Rone was one of the me who killed the somali pirates. and only 2 of the four snipers are still alive now. this movie 100% accurate from the book, CIA, security team. everyone said it was accurate... this is a documentary. not a movie. may we be bold enough to remember it as such

Michael Bay + Hans Zimmer= the makings of an epic movie

God Hans Zimmer and Lorne Balfe's score is fucking amazing, as was the movie, i expected Bay to go full bonanza-AMERICA FUCK YEAH in this movie, but he paid so much respect to the soldiers involved and the events that took place, that it didn't feel as propaganda film making(unless you wanna take it that far, to which generally all war films come down to, for their respective countries honestly), it felt more in line with Lone Survivor or even Black Hawk Down, the action was brutal and realistic(the most violent Bay movie for sure, i will never get that High-calliber turret ripping 3 dudes in half out of my head, CGI or practical and there's a lot of practical effects here on display, it was great, terrific stunt work, hell even the usually fireworkey explosions have weight and impact here), just a great movie overall, the cast performed wonderfully and the ending was sad and tragic( fucking government tho, they're like police in most action films, always show up just late enough to save lives -_-) my fav Bay movie after The Rock, solid 9/10. and frankly on second watch, i kinda teared up at this part.

What these men did, is the true definition of a hero. One of the most inspiring acts of bravery of all time. I salute each and every one of them.

“A true soldier fights not because what he hates what is in front of him but because he loves what is behind him.”

Black hawk down and 13 hours, the ending of these two movies will surely make you cry.

I'm not much of a emotional person but when he started crying saying rone didn't make it I cried too.

"Libyan transport, still no Americans" thank you Libya or stepping up when our country obviously didn't care to.

The fucking score to this ending was perfect! It really set a sorrowful and bitter sweet tone. When a man in the special forces cries you know that shit is real!

This film brought me down on so many levels. My dad and uncle were in the military but I just never knew it was like this..

I was living in benghazi at the time this attack happened. For the most part its very accurate. I wish the libyans arrived sooner but there was so much chaos on the ground that you werent able to tell who was friendly and who wasnt. One thing micheal bay nailed was the fact there was no American support, until this day I dont know why they did not send any help towards these guys. Up until the moment they left they were only being assisted by libyans, who were also confused because a small faction had broken off the friendlys and joined afghan and extremist groups who had infiltrated and were responsible for the attack in the first place.

1:57 Easily one of the best performances I’ve seen in a Michael Bay movie! 🙌🏻

the reason Hillary Clinton lost

"All the gods, all the heavens, all the hells are within you." What is that? Something Boon dropped on me earlier. It's just been rattling around in my head all night.

Michael Bay's best movie by far. Felt so many emotions watching this. Sadness, to anger and disgust.

And also one of my favourite things about the movie, is that on the description it says ‘ when everything went wrong, 6 men had the courage to do what was right. Now that’s courage may your souls rest ‘Rone and Glen’

My biggest respect for these men, only reason why I enlisted in the Navy to become a SEAL so I can prove my self that I can be better for my self and for others and always that there is a purpose for all of us, you have to find it to act on it, I salute to the fallen ones and my brothers in service

This scene always makes me cry I'm a grown ass 26 year old man. Especially when Jack says "he didn't make it, Rone not coming home" I always cry a tear. This whole movie was amazing. And everytime I watch it I get tears

that quote has been rattling inside my head since ive seen the movie

Many great comments here but let's not forget that Michael Bay directed this. When he is given a great script he delivers a great movie

“Rone’s not coming home” Krasinski absolutely nailed that scene. With the score in the background it was pure beauty.

I watched this movie with two of my best friends in college. We were in a movie room in a residence hall and they both ended up falling asleep. That actually really pissed me off because it displayed to me that they really didn't have the same passion for the sacrifice and warrior spirit of the us warfighter that I did.

michael bay is a commercial director extraordinaire, but occasionally he pulls just the right heart strings to make a great film. he did it with The Rock, he really did it with Armageddon, and he did it here. bonus points for introducing us to the versatile and gifted screen presence of john krasinski.

Absolutely tremendous acting from Krasinski, the end scene was vary emotional. Such an underrated film.

Hillary slept through the calls… then said “What difference does it make?!”. Never forget.

It's movies like this one that motivate me to be the best Soldier I can possibly be. That in adversity I find strength and courage to do what it takes to take care of my Soldiers. To not give up at any cost. I take the Warior Ethos to heart, and the NCO Creed. We are the Backbone of the Army. God bless us all.

I come back to this scene a lot, this is honestly one of my favorite movies because it shows Michael Bay isn't all flash. The "All the Gods, all the heavens, all the hells are within you" line is originally from a book by Joseph Campbell I believe, "The power of myth", I've read a bit of it, I love it, and I feel like it has good relation to this story and a lot of war stories too, I would definitely recommend as a read, its pretty short too. The "Still no Americans" part also hits really hard, not for any personal reason, but it shows that these guys went through hell and back, and despite the fact that America has committed numerous war crimes, when it comes to helping friendly soldiers and not starting a war, they won't break the "ROE" because of the "ethics" or "not wanting to start an international incident" even though Benghazi was already essentially a failed state. These men deserved so much more recognition, and Michael Bay did really well with this movie in my opinion because most people are used to a ton of fuckin explosions and all the shit going down, yeah he did that in this movie, but that's what those guys went through, and he shared a story that almost no one else had heard of. Just a quick rant, love you all.

Still the best war movie i ever watched😭

Wow Bay did a great job...very sad and powerful scene love the music.

Incredible acting by everyone in this movie, especially from John Krasinski, everyone remembers him from the office, I remember him from this movie.

When people say Michael Bay can't direct a good movie, I tell them to watch this one.

John Krasinski is a hell of an actor. This scene made me cry.

Never knew Tyrone or Glenn...but I served for six years, 2009 to 2015 US Air Force. Got great respect for these men, fellow brothers in the service that did what they needed to. When everything went wrong..these brave men had the courage and integrity to do what was right. RIP Glenn and Tyrone, you will never be forgotten. Rest in peace brothers, you fought hard and gave them Hell, you are both heroes in my eyes.

This ending shows how hard these guys are willing to fight and make the ultimate sacrifice for their country. They fight and die for others, so that others may live quietly, and they deserve to be more supported then they actually are. Respect from France for all these men and women all around, who dedicated their lives to fight for their country, no matter where they come from. Respect to you all

I know I'm going to be standing alone here, but there is something beautiful about that Libyan man holding up that sign @ 4:48 apologizing to Americans. That being said, these Americans were nothing short of heroes.

How can you not shed a tear at John’s phone call to his wife

The shit Rone and his soldiers went through was outstanding! I don’t think any of human being could go through what happened to them!

This film, is one of my favourites and it shows the courage and devotion these 6 men had to take on a whole army, whilst our government couldn’t arsed, that’s bull shit, and I hope these 2 heroes who have died have a respected place in heaven RIP Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty you heroes

Saw the movie in a theater originally. Was shaking when it had ended and I was walking out. Powerful movie which carries many messages. Those who have been in combat will understand. The worse part was that it was an avoidable situation, but allowed to become a spike in our hearts by the mishandling of our leadership. When someone famously said "At this point, what difference does it make!", she dismissed the cost of death upon the men and women present, and the terrible path their families embarked on when they were lied to. God be merciful to the families of the dead and the injured from that nightmare.

This is what heros look like. Protecting u.s officials who's superiors didn't even have the ball's to send help, but still they stayed and did what they where there to do. These are the kind of people who truly define our military. God bless you brothers.

John is such and amazing actor, I'm happy he's getting the recognition he deserves 💁🏻‍♀️

This is a prime example of an instant classic.

The music is so beautiful and ngl John’s acting on the phone was just heartwarming

This movie tears at me. I have never felt as free and alive as I did in combat, and have felt its pull on me ever since. You browbeat yourself into being there you are supposed to be, a father, a husband, but you will always feel the pull back. S/F and Happy Veteran's Day.

I have never cried at a movie until this scene

Imagine the feeling of losing your teammate in a battle that wasn;t meant to be theirs, and top of that no help from the army, which is one of the powerful armies of the world, just becasue of the iggnorance of some government officals #heartbreaking. This movie might not win oscars or grammies but it sure did won our hearts #NavySeals

Just watched this movie with my lady this past weekend and OMG so powerful. We couldn't take our eyes away.

4:47 that's powerful

Fuck the critics! I thought this movie was shocking, heartbreaking, intense and brilliant!

I would watch this every night and go to sleep to it wondering how it would feel to lose a brother right in front of you and then it happened to me... that taught me to treasure every moment with everyone and let everyone know I love them before it’s too late

I am a former 18D medic and this scene brought up some bad memories I broke down thinking about the guys who never got to come home and I would have gladly traded places with them. I still don't understand how I made it home when I shouldn't have.

What a great movie that was, one of the best in the past few years....after a long time a film brought tears to my eyes. Rone`s not comin home....

being out in NO MANS land for days.. then you hear that sound of a helicopter coming..knowing your going home and your fallen brothers are not.. its not a good feeling.. you feel as if your leaving part of you behind....and you are...TILL THEY ALL COME HOME. US NAVY CORPSMAN 87 TO 95

I think I speak for all us Veterans when I say this scene hits hard! until they all come home. until they all come home...

Tremendous acting by John. As humans we don’t want to feel. He fought the emotions through half of the phone call before before he couldn’t fight them anymore and broke down.

Watching this makes me appreciate my best friend so much that we’re gonna protect each other and die for each other, the thought of losing your best friend in an attack or war is something nothing anyone should ever go through

John Krasinski is hell of an underrated actor....Micheal Bay gets to redeem his sins from making Transformers movies.

This ending is even more heartbreaking than Black Hawk Down

Just came back from my second tour. It is a unique and amazing feeling to be back home 🇺🇸

There is SO much more to this story, thank you Killary Klinton.

John's acting is so underrated

Ever since I heard this movie was coming out in theaters. I really was interested how this happened and why it started. I cried at this ending in theaters. I salute for all these Americans who did what was right and loyal to their country! God bless them and America! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

This is still one of the greatest movies I’ve ever watched, I get brought to tears at the ending no matter how many times I see it.

Amazed this movie was ever made. Ashamed more Americans didn't watch it.

This was such a good movie. I’ve watched it so many times and my heart just breaks for all of them. The anger I feel toward those who let them down is pretty intense, plus no one had to answer for it. But, there will come a day when they will stand before the ultimate judge.

“Rone’s not coming home...” I felt that..😞😞😭

“Roe’s not comin home” that line breaks me no matter how many times I hear it 😔 how John krasinski didn’t get nominated or an Oscar for this is mind blowing

"what do we get?" "we get to go home..."

They died with honor and bravery. That’s what I call an American solider

i still can't believe they left those guys out there like that. just fucked up

Such a great movie and so moving. Pablo was my favourite as Tanto......but Krasinski's acting here was off the chart! What a performance!

Saddest scene ever, huge respect and love to all of those who suffered and fought on that day

Fuckin hell John is an amazing actor. In The Office u see «glimps» at his ability to really show raw emotions. This scenes was so fuckin real. Great movie!

I’m really grateful I saw this. For years I thought Michael Bay was a bad Director! It was only when I saw this that I realised he does actually have talent! Very few directors can create this level of emotion, and Michael Bay was one of them.

As a military veteran, I took voluntary retirement after 20 years. I related to this movie very well, sometimes you just have to cut the embilical cord. When you see your brothers die, and you get that inner feeling and you realise it's time to go home for good.

this movie put me and my family in tears
