Review by: Manisha Lakhe - NOWRUNNING

If you wish to make a war movie, then watch this film. It ticks off every cliche there is about soldiers in a war zone. It is a true story and some parts are riveting. But when the cliches begin to work, you wish they were all dead so you could go home.

Review by: Rachit Gupta - Filmfare

13 Hours is not a terrible mess. In fact, it’s a film that keeps your attention alive. As the characters struggle to survive and fight back, it makes you believe in the conflict. There’s even the occasional gore and splatter. But there’s no emotional depth, none that can be taken seriously. There’s plenty to cheer about and nothing really to reflect upon or celebrate.

Review by: Peter Travers - Rolling Stones

'Transformers' director Michael Bay tackles Benghazi — and the result is sound and fury signifying nothing.There’s nothing wrong with a movie that cheers American heroes. But this one does so by reducing everything else to cardboard.Bay keeps blowing shit up for a punishing two hours and 24 minutes.

Review by: Justin Chang - Variety

It’s best to let “13 Hours” come at you like a piece of hyperkinetic abstract art, drenched in diesel, blood and testosterone. To pause and think seriously about the situation at hand would short-circuit the overwhelming sensory effect that Bay and his collaborators are aiming for.

Review by: Jordan Hoffman - The Guardian

Michael Bay’s bloody bonanza about the 2012 US compound attack is atrocious, shrewdly timed for the presidential race and so scornful of foreign intervention it could be pacifist.Abhorrent politics aside, it’s also a terrible movie. The dialogue is atrocious, the performances rote.

Review by: Shalini Langer - The Indian Express

As far as bucks-for-bangs goes, 13 Hours doesn't disappoint.Earlier in the film, the CIA chief says, “There is no threat to us here. We won the revolution for these guys.” If he isn’t the only one left shaking his head at the end of 13 Hours, Bay can consider it a job well done.
