13 Hours: Laying It All Down

13 Hours: Laying It All Down

I'm no war movie buff.?American Sniper?and?Zero Dark Thirty?proved to be gritty, heartrending films for me, in ways that previous war films aimed at the glory of war left me cold and unmoved. I was determined not to see?13 Hours:?The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi,...

Mr. Right: Looking Too Hard
